The performance of a Ventilated wall component under real weather conditions was tested, during two weather seasons, winter and summer. The component was…
Increased global warming and deterioration of the ozone layer have stimulated interest in the use of renewable energy systems. Natural ventilation is…
DCV systems have proved to be energy saving with correct IAQ in previous studies. In order to achieve correct performance, these systems must be properly…
A major concern of those wishing to limit the energy use in buildings is the growing trend towards installing air-conditioning in new and refurbished…
European project pr EN13465 from CEN TC 156/WG2/AH4 gives a monozone model for airflow calculations in dwellings. In order to apply it to natural…
A potential conflict may exist between energy saving and good indoor climate. The present project is phase 2 of a 5-year research programme consisting of…
Earth-air heat exchangers can be used to reduce energy consumption in building ventilation systems. The idea is to pre-heat air in winter and pre-cool air…
This paper is an overview of the work carried out during a 3year EPSRC funded project investigating the important factors in Supply Air window design. The…
