The purpose of this study was to test an Indoor Air Quality model on a variety of Canadian homes, and use this model to determine the optimal ventilation…
The main goals for this design tool are: - A powerful, but simple to use, technical and economic tool for selecting a ventilation plant. - Guide and control…
Residential ventilation has at least two energy penalties that must be considered when addressing the ventilation levels recommended in ASHRAE Standard 62.…
The Air Lock Floor and the Pressure Ring are two effective measures for control of air flow directions between rooms or zones in buildings. They create a…
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…
The Annex 27 (A27), Evaluation and Demonstration of Domestic Ventilation Systems, is given a genaral introduction. The habits varys a lot between…
User experiences of the workings of a ventilation system have often been pretty disheartening. Draughty, too hot, noisy, too stuffy are some of the verdicts…
A kitchen is one of the major moisture producing areas in a dwelling. In order to prevent condensation and mould growth the relative humidity should not be…
This paper briefly reviews the weather data available for natural ventilation and briefly reviews hourly data for simulation. It starts by reviewing the…
The fan and the ductnetwork is designed for 100% ventilation rate. Because the fan energy is the main important energy consumption in systems all over the…
A possible alternative to mechanical extract ventilation for kitchens and bathrooms is passive stack ventilation (PSV). BRE has carried out work on this…
Ventilation and air conditioning systems mainly use fossile primary energies as gas, oil and coal for the heating and cooling processes. Air conditioning…
In recent years plants have increasingly become an integral part of building interior design. Greened office space and large enclosures can provide a better…
The paper describes the application of a new tracer gas technique for studying ventilation. The technique is called the homogeneous injection technique,…
A design guide for displacement ventilation (thermally induced ventilation ) has been prepared. It is based on quasi stationary experiments carried out in…
New Zealand homes have traditionally been ventilated through open windows and by background infiltration. In recent times, new materials and construction…
Terminals are used on all types of ventilation system exhausts, often to prevent rain water and animal entry, but also to prevent wind induced flow-reversal…
The paper presents some selected results of evaluation of improvement effectiveness of thermal insulation and tightness of multifamily dwelling houses…
