The cabin air filter performance is of prime importance for the air quality in vehicles. New clean filters were tested but also filters loaded with actual…
A general trend in intelligent buildings is the decentralization of environmental controlsystems. Decentralized environmental control systems have many…
This study investigates indoor air environment via the flow fields, temperature fields and air contaminants (carbon monoxide) distributions in conventional…
Indoor air quality is decreasing year by year. It is very necessary to find a kind of efficient cleaner to improve the indoor air quality. Two kinds of…
Forced air furnaces are a common Canadian heating system. Traditionally, filters placed in thecirculating air ductwork were designed to protect the furnace…
Models are presented for describing the performance of room air cleaners in removing pollutants from indoor air, particularly the levels of removal that can…
In order to explain the effect of heat recovery on a passive ventilation system using stack effect, and to show the factors and conditions that the heat-…
The role of indoor plants as a source of microorganisms was studied in six office rooms.Concentrations of microorganisms (both fungi and actinomycetes) were…
Ventilation filters composed of electrostatically-charged fibers, also referred to as electret filters,are know to have the potential to decrease in…
The fractional collection efficiency (FCE) tests of a commercially available two-stageelectrostatic precipitator (ESP) have been performed for six flow…
In residential buildings, air-conditioners are usually operated in intermittent mode. Thisintermittent mode may complicate many aspects of indoor…
Formaldehyde (FA) adsorption, including that in the presence of water vapours, has been evaluated on adsorbents of various nature and porous structure. The…
A test rig for long-term tests of activated carbon filters was developed consisting of eight parallel test-filter sections. The test-rig was installed on…
A number of studies have shown that approximately 1 in 10 hospital in-patients will acquire a nosocomial infection (NI) '*).These infections are associated…
The aim of this study is to illustrate the importance of the effects of wind turbulence on airchange in buildings. Using two simple configurations, tested…
Indoor and outdoor particle concentrations and ventilation rates were measured versus time ina large office building without tobacco smoking. Periodically,…
The objectives of thisinvestigation were to examine the dynamic water vapour sorption offurnishing materials and to compare the experimental results…
The influence of natural convection on the thermal properties of insulating porous medium with air cavity is studied. Here, the combined effect of air…
Results are presented from a study of the performance of fuzzy, rule-based algorithms for thecontrol of indoor air quality through combined control of…
Recent years have brought the popularity of methods in which neutral networks are applied. They seem of particular importance while dealing with diagnosing…
