The thermal performance of a monozone building located in Lisbon is studied when night ventilation combined with radiative cooling is used in order to…
In moderate climates, adventitious ventilation helps in keeping the water vapor balance in a building under control. This does not hold in hot and humid…
Passive cooling strategies require strict adherence to the physical world. Ones imagination creates the flow of ideas that can blossom into a comfortable…
For historical and demographical reasons, in many European countries, an important part of educational building must be retrofitted. These retrofitting must…
Single- and double-section manufactured homes were instrumented in 2001-2003 to measure continuous energy usage and air infiltration with respect to the…
Twenty homes were tested and monitored in Houston, Texas, U.S.A. to evaluate humidity controlperformance and operating cost of six different integrated…
Many recently developed energy-reducing strategies with respect to heat loads in residential interiorsincluded in simulation programs possess extensive…
The most efficient ventilation system would only operate on demand, when ventilation was "needed". Running the ventilation system all the time at a low flow…
In order to facilitate nationwide analysis of ventilation and indoor air quality issues in residential buildings, a set of homes has been defined to…
The control industry integrates more and more recent innovations, especially on the sector of communication networks (bus), control (fuzzy logic, neural…
This paper presents the results of a field study conducted on 8 houses (out of a set of 31) owned and managed by a French social housing public leasing…
The goal of this study was the determination of the existing situation in houses with regard to air quality and energy used for ventilation in relation to…
For the building team, the design of library, archives and museum facilities brings with it special responsibilities. Archive and conservation facilities…
The airtightness of a building envelope impacts upon the magnitude of uncontrolled air leakage and associated ventilation energy losses. A building's…
In January 2002 the EU RESHYVENT project started, a three-year project within the EU Fifth Framework Programme on the investigation and development of…
Research partners of 10 different countries are developing a computer tool in the framework of IEA ECBCS Annex 36, which helps decision makers to include…
The airflows through a one family prototype building have been simulated. Supply openings in living room and bedrooms have a size of 200 and 400 cm2…
In recent years, poor indoor climate has caused health problems for building occupants. Sometimes these problems have been so serious that these buildings…
The study reviewed each Code/Standard with respect to requirements relating to acommon set of ventilation factors and criteria. The main factors include the…
To better quantify the impact of different window opening models in comparison to ventilation techniques a multizone ventilation model, incorporating the…
