The book of proceedings from the 15th AIVC Conference "The Role of Ventilation", Buxton, UK, 27-30 September 1994.
Volume 1 includes 28 papers…
Building airtightness data are essential for design and model evaluation. An attempt has been made with the Numerical Database to compile data appropriate…
A study has been undertaken to (1) evaluate airtightness in recent construction dwellings in New York State, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of various…
This paper presents a trial of applying a CFD package into an air movement study in an old English church. The possibility of adopting computational…
This paper reports on ventilation measurements taken beneath a suspended timber floor of a BRE/DoE energy and environment test house. Sulphur hexafluoride…
This paper presents a measurement technique to perform quantitative visualization of room air flows. The visualization is done by discrete particles, namely…
One important aim for the development of new air conditioning systems is the reduction of the total energy consumption. This can be reached by separation of…
The idea that intend temperatures can be reduced by ventilating the air-space between the ceiling and the roof (the attic) of a house, is widely…
A series of laboratory experiments are described which investigated the effect of surface roughness on the air flow characteristics of simple, straight-…
The ventilation of a Swedish single family house is investigated by means of tracer gas and pressurization techniques. The ventilation flow plays an…
Simulation is proving more and more important in building physics. Programs of different levels of complexity are today available for researchers and…
Indoor air quality, comfort and energy use in buildings are largely dependent on the performance of HVAC systems. However, the pressure loss factors…
The work was concerned with measuring natural convection through a large horizontal opening of different sizes and shapes located between two rooms in a…
This paper is concerned with measurement of air and aerosol particle exchange efficiency in a single zone chamber. Aerosol particles and tracer gases were…
Measurements of interzone airflow and movement of aerosol particles were carried out in an environmental chamber. SF tracer gas and oil-smoke particles were…
This paper discusses four concepts that have been found useful in improving estimates of ventilation rates in residential buildings. These concepts are…
As a result of the "Sick Building Syndrome" (SBS) the confidence of operators of office buildings into HVAC technologies has suffered a considerable drop.…
Occupant response in a good indicator of the effectiveness of a ventilation system. In a one-year study in the province of Quebec region, 20 public…
The monitoring of the performance of domestic ventilation systems is quite a complex exercise. A wide variety of parameters must be taken into account in…
Tracer-gas techniques are widely used for measurement of airflow in buildings and their accuracy depends critically on the uniformity of tracerlair mixing.…
