The 26th AIVC Annual Conference took place in Belgium at the Hotel Husa President Park, located in Brussels. Some 250 participants from 27…
The paper presents a study of the indoor climate of a monumental building with periodic high indoor moisture loads. Several scenarios of the past…
Studies on air circulation became of great importance in recent years, since are crucial for the energy consumption of buildings, for the pollutant…
The probabilistic model (PROMO) applied to the problem of air infiltration in low-rise buildings is presented. The PROMO model allows the estimation of the…
The hybrid ventilation systems have been widely used for livestock barns to provide optimum indoor climate by controlling the ventilation rate and air flow…
This work presents simulations results exploring the influence of the building air-tightness on the energy consumption of buildings for different hypothesis…
The performance of three different ventilation systems in cold climate homes is discussed. Comparisons are presented of monitored datasets by contrasting…
The design and realisation of natural ventilation systems is an important research topic into the ability of buildings to respond to climatic conditions,…
This paper investigates the sensitivity of indoor humidity models to the numerical description of water vapour buffering in porous materials in the room.…
High levels of indoor relative humidity are one of the main causes of moisture damage in buildings. That cause can be removed by an appropriate ventilation…
Natural night ventilation is an energy efficient way to improve thermal summer comfort. Coupled thermal and ventilation simulation tools predict the…
Thermal comfort in living rooms or bedrooms is among others determined by the spatial distribution of the supplied ventilation air. In this work, the…
Studies on buildings’ airtightness have shown that several issues can arise from uncontrolled airflow leakages in buildings (e.g., higher energy cost,…
A hybrid ventilation system controlled by a pressure difference sensor was installed on a detached test house. Performance of this ventilation system was…
A multi-disciplinary study to comprehensively measure and analyze operational performance and indoor environmental conditions in a sample of typical,…
Natural ventilation reduces energy consumption for fans and mechanical cooling and in mostcases gives occupants control over their office space. Further…
The increasing concern on energy conservation in buildings and the increasing insulation level of buildings, lead to the introduction of limits for building…
Introduced for the first time at 25th AIVC Conference in Prague in September 2004, the HR-Ventproject still delivers new rich teachings since its start in…
An earth-air heat exchanger (EAHX) has been implemented in a low-energy office building in Kortrijk,Belgium. An extensive monitoring campaign was conducted…
