In this paper, we investigate the potential of an aerosol-based technique to significantly reduce the leakiness of residential air distribution systems (ADS…
Nowadays it is rather common with demand controlled ventilation in public buildings and offices. The purpose of demand controlled ventilation is to adapt…
The IEA Annex 27, "Evaluation and Demonstration of Domestic Ventilation Systems" is aiming at developing tools by using the most developed computer models…
This paper describes the new indoor environment research facility recently constructed at the Institute for Research in Construction, National Research…
This paper presents the results of a series of measurements made in an occupied family house. Long and short-term measurements of the concentration of radon…
A breakthrough in ventilation research was made once it was realized that ventilation principles based on mixed flow patterns are not optimal and that…
Disadvantages and advantages with different heating and ventilation systems in modern housing have been discussed during many years in Sweden. The…
The ventilation of an attic is critical in estimating heating and cooling loads for buildings because the air temperature in the attic is highly sensitive…
Especially in modern buildings with small capacity of humidity storage it is necessary to reduce the humidity in the supply air. Normally a refrigeration…
The work concentrated on estimating the effects of building leakages and terrain parameters on the air infiltration. The analysis was performed mainly using…
A computer program has been developed to predict the wind pressure coefficients Cp on facades and roofs of block shaped buildings. The program is based on…
With effect from January 1st, 1995 the amended Heat Transfer Barrier Act (,,Warmeschutzverordnung ) was introduced in the Federal Republic of Germany,…
Dynamic insulation has been used in non domestic buildings for 20- 30 years in order to reduce the heat loss and to bring preheated air into the buildings.…
To achieve acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ), ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 recommends the use of the alternative IAQ procedure. The IAQ procedure can treat…
The material presented in this paper highlights some aspects of""two research projects, The control of natural ventilation , and Night cooling strategies .…
In line maintenance hangars, air planes stay about 2 hours, usually at night-time. The coolingdown of the inside air during the opening time of the hangar…
Two factors - CO2 emissions fiom heating and cooling systems and restrictions on the use of CFC refrigerants - have accelerated the development and…
By means of a case study involving a severe case of coupled heat and sir flow in buildings, this paper aims to quantify the differences resulting from…
Air flow measurements and simulations were made on a 13-story apartment building to characterize the ventilation rates for the individual apartments.…
This paper describes a method which aims to generate an overall view of multizone building air flow by integrating methods for bulk air flow analysis, air…
