Volume content
For thermal comfort and energy conservation reasons, displacement ventilation and radiative cooling systems are increasingly used. Simulation programs are…
Dynamic insulation stands for an insulation through which an air flow flows. The air flow is usually the normal ventilation flow. The air can flow in the…
Ventilation of buildings is necessary, both to insure adequate indoor air quality and to protect the building itself against condensation and mould growth.…
Under-estimating the ventilation flow rate results in increased sanitary risks and damage to the existing building structure. Over-estimating ventilation…
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) and passive stack ventilation (PSV) systems are both proposed as methods of ensuring satisfactory…
Total energy exchangers with a rotating heat storing matrix have been applied to air conditioning systems for more than 25 years with very good results for…
Cooling ceilings are more and more proposed, in order to eliminate excess heat in office buildings without consuming much energy in air transport. On the…
Within the framework of demonstration and industrial pilot projects in the energy sector supported by the Commission of the European Economic Communities,…
For several years the technology of chilled ceilings has been a favourite issue among HVAC technicians and underwent a boom in the past few years. According…
The momentum balance on a centrifugal fan, supplemented by a complete energy balance for rigorous interpretation of power-pressure interactions, relates…
An even distribution of room air can improve indoor air quality, lower energy costs, and create thermally comfortable environments. This paper investigates…
In the framework of a CEC demonstration project on humidity controlled ventilation, detailed measurements are carried out in 18 apartments in Namur, Belgium…
This paper presents the results of monitoring the ventilation in Netley Infants School in Hampshire. The study was carried out on behalf of the Department…
A new ventilation and cooling system called OKOMAIR has been developed and investigated. The main idea is to separate carrying off cooling loads and…
The paper will describe the development of the storm safety value, experience of its use and suggestions for use in other connections.
The issue of energy consumption assessment is a complex one. Sophisticated simulation software whilst providing detailed predictions of the thermal…
In urban non-residential buildings air-conditioning systems are generally required to achieve acceptable air quality. To reduce the energy demand of HVAC-…
High quality is a prerequisite for industry to sell its products. To secure an optimized production and at the same time assure a minimum of wastage, it is…
A new miniature mechanical ventilation system with both supply and extract air and an air-to-air heat exchanger has been developed in Great Britain and…
Designing a comfortable inside climate for office buildings to operate within comfort limits (PMV+/-0.5) requires a flexible operating strategy. Two systems…
