This paper analyses the contribution of a steady wind to the uncertainties in building pressurisation tests, using the approach developed in another paper (…
This paper discusses two particular points of the buildings airtightness measurement method (ISO 9972) in relation with the calculation of the combined…
Based on 3 short time performance measurements, 4 visits together with user-interviews, 3 involvements in Ventilative Cooling (VC)-building-design, 2 long-…
The importance of reducing the ingress of outdoor pollution into the indoor environment is becoming increasingly important as concerns rise regarding the…
Experiments are presented on turbulent buoyant free-line and wall plumes, whereby the buoyancy source is emitted from a horizontal line source, in one case…
We present preliminary results from an examination of the capture and venting of a buoyant plume by a chimney. The aim is to enable improved management of…
Indoor air quality and thermal comfort was measured in 14 three-bedroom, semi-detached, cavity wall naturally-ventilated homes during the winter following…
The current type of construction preferred for new high energy efficient buildings in Germany, featuring highly insulated building components and an almost…
The data from published studies were used to build relationships between learning outcomes and air quality in classrooms. Psychological tests measuring…
Ventilative cooling through window airing presents a promising potential for low energy houses in order to avoid overheating risks and to reduce energy…
Major and deep energy renovations of single-family houses (more than 60% of the building stock) are expected in Europe over the next several years (Psomas…
Residential cooking can be a significant indoor source of odour, pollutants and particulate matter. Conventionally, range hoods expel the air into the…
Overheating in domestic homes, specifically in built up urban areas, has become a pressing problem throughout the UK. It is likely to become a costly energy…
Heat and mass flow between cold and warm environments due to the pressure difference between both sides. This exchange causes a loss of energy and human…
Experimental investigation of ceiling circular grille air jets was conducted in a full-scale entirely controlled test room (6.2 x 3.1 x 2.5 m). Our…
This paper describes the findings and recommendations of a meta-study examining the actual in-use performance of whole-house mechanical ventilation heat…
The industry is now focusing in system solutions and the goal is to be able to deliver complete reliable, energy efficient solutions that is understandable…
About 3 billion people worldwide, and more than 90% in developing countries, are at risk of developing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and cancer,…
