Train tunnels and subways are an interesting field of ventilation. Trains move air through tunnels at rates of 600 m³/s (over 2 x 10^6 m³ per hour) which is…
The role of ventilation in the housing stock is to provide fresh air and to dilute internally-generated pollutants in order to assure adequate indoor air…
AIOLOS is a project partly financed by the European Commission, DG XVII for Energy, within the frame of the ALTENER programme. The purpose of the project is…
The research community as well as the design and construction practice is spending a lot of efforts and investments in developing systems which optimise the…
In response to complaints about poor air quality in bus termini, the Hong Kong Government is considering imposing legislative control over ventilation…
The acceptance and appreciation of ventilation systems is mainly determined by the perceived indoor air quality, thermal comfort and noise. Noise in…
Air quality, air flows in buildings, and ventilation are most important topics. Good air quality is however critically dependent also on other things than…
This paper presents the special needs and difficulties concerning cooling and ventilation of the SwissMetro high-speed ground transportation system.…
Adequate ventilation with the "right amount of air, to the right place and at the right time" are important factors for achieving a good indoor climate.…
A naturally ventilated three level office building has been used to study basic stack ventilation configurations and the interaction between ventilation and…
The effect of recirculation on the age of air is described. A new effectiveness measure called the relative air-change effectiveness is defined in such a…
Low emitting building materials have contributed to the reduction of indoor air contaminants, and in many countries gas ranges and gas cookers are rarely…
A condition often assumed when designing a naturally ventilated building is where air enters at low level and leaves at high level due to the stack effect.…
The paper will discuss problems connected with incorporation of stochastic factors into deterministic models of indoor air quality. Three different methods…
This paper reports the findings of a pilot field study carried out to investigate the internal and external air pollution levels of two adjacent buildings,…
The performance of mechanical ventilation systems has been checked in several innovative residential houses in the frame of Swiss research as well as pilot…
The aim of this study was to compare the radon levels at workplaces and in homes located nearby. Homes (number of 57) and partly or fully underground…
The comparison of the performances of ventilation systems must take into account different issues. For indoor air quality, different kinds of pollutant…
In the urban environment, there is strong evidence that fine particulates associated with vehicular emissions are linked with respiratory problems and an…
The study concerns the ventilation of a parallelepiped shape room by means of several systems whose supplying and extracting methods differ, so the…
