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…
A measurement system is described to record the movement in a room of neutral density balloons or bubbles, and thus the movement of air in that room. It is…
This paper presents the results of a monitoring programme on a medium sized educational building which has had the external walls re-clad. The objective…
Four classrooms of two secondary schools located around Lyon in France have been monitored. The objectives are to analyse the quality of the indoor air and…
