The book of proceedings from the 17th AIVC Conference "Optimum Ventilation and Air Flow Control in Buildings", Gothenburg, Sweden, 17-20 September 1996…
This paper reports on the ventilation measurements in a cinema using the tracer-gas technique. Both the local and room air exchange efficiencies were…
The use of computers for simulating building thermal behavior started early at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. The first example of…
This paper is describing the first results of the Annex 27 work aiming at developing simplified tools for evaluating domestic ventilation systems by using…
A study of the reliability of systems by considering the ability of different systems to maintain a required air flow rate over time is included in a…
Especially in modern buildings with small capacity of humidity storage it is necessary to reduce the humidity in the supply air. Normally this was done by…
The common way to determine air infiltration, exfiltration and interzonal flows from tracer gas measurements in multizoned buildings is to rely upon the…
Natural ventilation is being applied to an increasing number of new buildings to minimise reliance on mechanical ventilation and so reduce emission of…
Traditional air-handling unit (AHU) control systems link the position of the exhaust air damper, recirculation air damper, and outdoor air damper. Tests at…
This paper reports on the use of BRE's domestic ventilation model, BREVENT, to predict subfloor and whole house ventilation rates in a BRE/DoE test house.…
The work described in this paper is aimed at predicting the local values of the ventilation eflectiveness parameters of large industrial buildings by a…
To ensure indoor air quality an efficient ventilation system should provide fresh air in those parts of a room where it is required. To assess whether the…
Wind pressures can significantly affect ventilation performance. However often they are overlooked in the design of a naturally ventilated building, with…
Existing experimental techniques for calculating air flow through building cracks are usually based upon relationships derived from experimental studies…
This paper describes the ventilation analysis undertaken during the design of a new music centre for which it was desired to avoid the use of air…
Ventilation is necessary to provide a good indoor air quality to occupants in office buildings but is however a major energy consumer. In that manner,…
Water use is distributed throughout building structures. Energy used to pump the water to higher levels in the building is not currently recovered, and is…
Tracer gases are commonly used to evaluate the performance of ventilation systems. One way to reduce the time, complexity, and cost of such experiments is…
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the operation of a modified Trombe wall. The construction has been altered to include a layer of…
Many modern buildings in the Nordic countries have mechanical ventilation. Passive stack ventilation is, however, an accepted ventilation system in the…
