From the energy point of view, buildings should be as tight as possible. But lack of ventilation will result in high level of indoor pollutants, which is…
Hemp Lime concrete (HLC) is a bio-based material, which knows currently a growing development. HLC is a low embodied energy material. It has an excellent…
The differences between extract ventilation and balanced ventilation are subject of many discussions in sales markets where both solutions have their share…
The long term exposure to fine particulate matter with a diameter of ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) is linked to numerous health problems, including chronic respiratory…
At typical indoor CO2 levels there is no scientific evidence that CO2 is harmful to comfort and health of healthy persons, though there is a potential for…
Pressure drop due to filters embedded in HVAC systems is one of the energy loss causes in building air conditioning systems, which can become important in…

The aim of this paper is to show the effects of variable ventilation rates on the demand of energy and air quality in dwellings, and how airtightness and…
Within this paper, an evaluation of Indoor Air Quality in residential buildings, and the experience after a building retrofit is shown. One residential…
People in industrialised countries spend about 90% of their time indoors. Hence, a good indoor climate is essential for health and well-being. Ventilation…
The purpose of this paper is to enhance the importance of ventilation regarding energy use and stablishing methods in order to obtain as much data as…
Using solar heat energy has been paid attention to as effective natural energy use. In this study, we deal with air-based solar heat system, which is used…
Open joint ventilated façade (OJVF) is a passive constructive system widely used to ameliorate envelop of buildings, improving their energy efficiency. A…
Typical heat sources in indoor environments include humans, electrical devices, and computers. The number of such sources in operating room environments is…
An experimental analysis of the night ventilation technique for cooling in buildings, was performed in a test cell with the aim of establish the potential…
Lecture rooms with their high, quickly fluctuating internal gains, e.g. changing from no occupation to full occupation within some minutes, are quite…
Aim of this work has been to determine the effectiveness of evaporative cooling and ventilation control strategies on a case study to ensure an adequate…
Natural ventilation is increasingly considered one of the most efficient passive solutions to improve thermal comfort in buildings. However in order to…
This work presents the thermal behavior of a stand-alone experimental solar chimney during one year. The dimensions of the solar chimney are 5.60 m high, 1.…
