The LESO building is a three storey, medium-sized office building on the campus of the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne. In this building component…
The equivalent leakage area algorithm is used to illustrate the use of statistical simulations to predict distributions of infiltration and energy loss for…
In the mid-1980s, two London architects postulated that deflection of higher speed air from tall slab buildings could increase air infiltration from a…
This paper describes a laboratory model for the testing and validation of tracer gas measurement techniques. Previous attempts at experimental validation…
Improvements to ventilation systems for the purpose of saving energy may also affect the provision of good air quality. Measurement of ventilation…
Multizone models are a common tool for calculating air and contaminant exchange within rooms of a building and between building and outside. Usually a whole…
This paper is concerned with measurement of airflow in ducts using an active (pumped) sampling system. The system is capable of sampling tracer gases using…
It has been shown that thermal imaging can give an indication of air flow rates through small cracks. Using a finite difference analysis package it is…
The use of sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), nitrous oxide (N2O) or carbon dioxide (CO2) as tracer-gases have been examined for the measurement of airflow in a…
Preliminary work has indicated that thermography can be used to determine air leakage pathways from or to buildings. Accurate measurements have now been…
The first part of this paper describes a detailed study of the flow of aerosol particles through large openings and the second part describes deposition…
A new model concept has been developed to model the three dimensional energy and mass transfer in an imperfectly mixed fluid. The model permits to predict…
In occupational hygiene the common practice is to use dilution ventilation (MIXVENT) which ideally requires perfect mixing. Increasingly, however,…
Air infiltration continues to play a major role in the ventilation of houses, despite modern trends to increased airtightness of the building envelope. In…
The paper presents a proposal of numerical procedure for air flow simulation in multi-zone buildings (up to 100 zones). This procedure can work with 1 hour…
The paper describes measurements made on large doors - 10 to 20 m2 in 2 buildings in Narvik. The air change was measured with the tracer gas (SFg). The…
One of essential problems of the present research related to building analyses is air flows determination. Air flows not only cause energy consumption but…
One of the options to increase the energy efficiency of buildings in the cooling season, is to extract heat from the building envelope during the night by…
The traditional description of a flow system with a multicell model, Vc(t)=Qc(t)+p(t), may sometimes be to restrictive. The multicell theory require…
