A sudden contamination of the outdoor air by some toxic gas can have several causes. The primary goal of the investigation was to determine the protection…
This paper deals with the problem of the weather influence on ventilation rate for naturally ventilated buildings with purpose provided openings and…
Draughts due to air inlets are one of the problems to be solved for improving the global performance of mechanical ventilation systems. The CSTB full scale…
A prototype of a low cost, low energy office building was built using a new Finnish component system building technology. Thanks to the energy efficient…
The house dust mite inhabits bedding and soft furnishings in homes. It is implicated as a major cause of allergic asthma. Maintenance of indoor humidity…
This paper describes a method for measuring tbe dispersal of airborne contaminants by light-sheet illumination of aerosol tracen and digital image…
This report presents the results from the registration throughout a month of relative humidity, temperature and outdoor air exchange as well as the…
This paper investigates quantitatively the energy conservation achieved by balanced ventilation with heat recovery and upstream ground heat exchanger. The…
The greenhouse effect is one of those topics in environmental politics which are currently worldwide at stake. There are several national concepts aiming at…
Avery largeelectronics factory had beencompletely refurbished, and new mechanical ventilation systems installed. In an area of the factory where the…
The ventilation rate in a building depends on many things, one of which is the air temperature. The air temperature in turn depends in part on the…
A cross-flow polymer membrane enthalpy exchanger has been designed which provides both heat recovery and moisture dissipation in the ventilation of living…
The present paper reports on tracer gas measurements performed in five large buildings during normal operating conditions. In all buildings air was supplied…
By means of parametric analyses, the paper describes how the "constantness" of a Constant Air Volume system is affected by temperature differences resulting…
Modern one-family houses in Scandinavia built before 1980 are often naturally ventilated and heated by electric baseboard heaters. The overall supply of…
The study deals with the theoretical and experimental simulation of gas leaks in buildings. Such simulations may provide helpful information about the flow…
Besides the hygienic aspect, also the aspect of energy saving of heating residential buildings is very important. This is only possible by mechanical…
Ventilation systems in dwellings should not only maintain the quality of the air, in other words limit pollutant concentration whatever the origin, but…
During the last decade several surveys in Sweden have indicated that the indoor climate in existing schools is unsatisfactory, therefore a thorough project…
Due to the complexity in describing the simultaneous effects of a number of factors that influence the climate of an attic space it has proven to be…
