Balanced ventilation systems with heat recovery and earth to air heat exchangers are interestingtechniques, which can reduce heating and cooling demand of…
The design of ventilation equipment is important because it affects the ventilation performancedirectly. To improve the ventilation efficiency of the…
In this study the question whether or not and to what extend ventilation and air cleaning can contribute to the reduction of exposure to environmental…
An Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (ETAHE) is a low energy cooling and heating technology for buildings. It uses the ground’s thermal storage capacity to dampen…
In most conditioned spaces, the Mixing Jet Ventilation (MJV) systems are commonly installed. Relying on turbulent mixing, MJV homogeneously controls the…
The average air tightness of the ventilation ductwork in France is rather poor, corresponding toa 3A class. This is mainly due to air leakage in the…
Positive input ventilation (PIV) systems were installed in a new build housing development inBallantrae in south west Scotland; utilising a glazed sunspace…
In most conditioned spaces, the Mixing Jet Ventilation (MJV) systems are commonly installed. Relying on turbulent mixing, MJV homogeneously controls the…
The thermal exchanges between the buildings and its surroundings may be easily evaluated from balance equations. However, some parameters in the equations…
European Directive for Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) was approved in the beginning of2003. The transition period is 3-6 years depending of the…
This article presents the application of the zonal approach for modeling airflow and temperaturedistribution in Doube-Skin Facades (DSF). The airflow rate…
Many modern office buildings have highly glazed facades. Their energy efficiency and indoor climateis, however, being questioned. Therefore, when a modern…
The use of heat produced by solar thermal collectors is an interesting option for thermal driven airconditioning process. Three technologies are…
