This field study was organized to determine the ventilation required to maintain acceptable air quality in a retail store using the ASHRAE Standard 62-1989…
Ventilation is pivotal both in terms of indoor air quality and environmental issues such as greenhouse gas emissions. It also has a major impact on energy…
The development of guidelines for smart innovative mechanical ventilation systems is a task included in an ongoing research project partly supported by the…
This field study was organised to track differential pressure relationships in critical care units of a metropolitan hospital. Maintaining design pressure…
In order to estimate air change rates (ACH) on Natural Ventilation (NV) processes a number of factors should be known as general and openings dimensions,…
Suitable combinations of desiccant and evaporative cooling systems permit air processes alternative to the traditional ones for air conditioning…
Energy-saving improvements in the thermal properties of buildings often have an adverse effect on indoor air quality, leading to risks of structural…
This technical note considers the performance evaluation of an advanced air-conditioningsystem in a plant manufacturing electrical generators. The extensive…
The feasibility of designing ventilation routes in the house with passive ventilation system is investigated using the numerical experiments and the…
In mechanical exhaust ventilated buildings in cold climates, the supply air through vents in the perimeter may cause draught and reduce the zone of…
Air exchange rates of ten residential buildings were measured according to ASTM-E741-83 using SF6 as a decaying tracer. Air exchange rates were also…
A patented, low energy, fresh air fan convector has been developed by a HVAC equipmentmanufacturer in conjunction with a leading controls supplier and a…
The role of outdoor spaces’ design as well as the mutual correspondence among urban microclimate, indoor air climate and air quality, have been specifically…
Based on theoretical and experimental tests it was determined that the thermodynamic balancecondition in the working space of air-handling units (AHUs) of…
Air handling units do not always function as planned: airflow rates are often larger than required, the recirculation rate is not at its set-point value and…
The ventilation air intake (louver) is the first line of defence against an unfavourable outdoor climate. Unfortunately, the importance of this component is…
The present study introduces a humidity control apparatus which can hygienically and automaticlymaintain the appropriate humidity level of indoor air…
This present work has theoretically investigated coupled heat and mass exchangemechanisms in counterflow rotary dehumidifier with the mixed desiccant of…
Computer simulation of building airtightness measurements shows the effect of changes inpressure distribution across the building envelope due to wind force…
Different ground-coupled earth-to -air heat exchangers have been constructed in many residential and occupational buildings in Switzerland to precool or…
