Ventilation systems should contribute to good indoor air quality conditions and should be energy efficient. In practice, one often finds ventilation systems…
A field measurement study of the airtightness of 73 - less than 5 year old - French dwellingswas led between 1999 and 2000. Buildings have been selected and…
The New Zealand Building Code has kept with tradition in allowing residential building ventilationdesigns based entirely on openable window areas. Working…
Loading of ventilation components with dust may affect air handling systems performances andcontribute to poor indoor air. A lot of standardised test method…
This paper investigates passive displacement flows in a simple, two-compartment building that comprises a single storey connected to an atrium. Heat gains…
The relationships between indoor environment and health, well being and ability to acquire knowledge are unquestionable. These are the reasons why in many…
US Manufactured homes are required to be built to Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (MHCSS…
This paper presents an experimental study of natural ventilation induced by combined forces of thermal buoyancy and opposing wind in a single-zone building…
A currently unresolved problem in building design is the paradox between increasing demandfor good thermal insulation, and the requirement for ample levels…
The prediction of energy use, air flows and temperatures in different rooms of a building andat different climatic conditions is very important, especially…
This article describes a ventilation system, developed within the framework of aEuropean project supported by the JOULE III programme (NAVAIR project).…
The target in this study was to decrease the energy use for transportation of air (fanenergy) with a factor of three. Two real systems composed of existing…
Measurements of ventilation rates and internal temperatures have been recorded in a naturallyventilated auditorium with high intermittent heat gains for a…
The humidity of room air is a necessary influence of design under the aspects of thermalbehavior, technology and conservation.The moisture absorption in the…
Infiltration has traditionally been assumed to affect the energy load of a building byan amount equal to the product of the infiltration flow rate and the…
This paper discusses how simplified thermal and ventilation tools could be used during thefeasibility study of buildings to demonstrate the advantages of…
