The major objective of the IEA task XIII project is to design and construct low energy dwellings which should be technically and economically realistic in…
The number of smokers differs mainly with age, sex, education, profession, and cultural background. The change in habits from the 2nd World War till today…
The role of ventilation in the housing stack is to provide fresh air and to dilute internally-generated pollutants in order to assure adequate indoor air…
In conjunction with IEA Annex 18, DCV-systems, a test on an auditorium in a school in Tyreso south of Stockholm has been carried out. The auditorium has 450…
The growing diffision of small power, gas-fired individual units for space heating and service hot water production, as well as concern about operational…
Increases in the levels of thermal insulation required in the walls and roofs of houses in the U.K. in recent years have meant that heat losses through…
Many modern office and residential buildings in Sweden include an atrium. The atria are often mechanically ventilated and sometimes they are heated. Very…
The continual reduction of the transmission heat losses of residential buildings causes an increasing importance of the ventilation heat losses. Energy…
Existing regulations concerning the design and construction of residential buildings which are naturally ventilated via courtyards and lightwells have…
The importance of natural ventilation, typically restricted to residential buildings application, is rapidly increasing also within the commercial buildings…
A combined thermal and ventilation model has been used to investigate the seasonal variation of air infiltration rates and ventilation heat losses in modern…
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…
Under-estimating the ventilation flow rate results in increased sanitary risks and damage to the existing building structure. Over-estimating ventilation…
Ventilation of buildings is necessary, both to insure adequate indoor air quality and to protect the building itself against condensation and mould growth.…
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…
Within the framework of demonstration and industrial pilot projects in the energy sector supported by the Commission of the European Economic Communities,…
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…
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…
