In the design of a commercial kitchen ventilation system, it is very important to maintain the capture efficiency of exhaust hoods and ensure smooth removal…
Use of Demand Controlled ventilation (DCV) can potentially save more than 50% of energy use for ventilation purposes compared to constant air volume (CAV)…
The European Commission’s Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) manages parts of the Horizon 2020 framework programme for…
Exposures to elevated concentrations of airborne fine particulate matter with diameter ≤ 2.5 µm (PM2.5) have been linked to multiple negative health effects…
Cooking can be a major source of exposure to particulate matter. Range hoods can be used to reduce odours, moisture and contaminants resulting from cooking…
Cooking is one of the most substantial sources of indoor air pollution in most residences. This is mitigated most often by exhaust devices located…
Exposures to elevated concentrations of fine particulate matter with diameter ≤2.5µm (PM2.5) are linked to multiple acute and chronic health effects,…
The research question of this report is “Is it possible to save energy by lowering the bedroom temperatures in winter”. In this paper first the literature…
There has been an increase in diseases caused by airborne infections such as influenza A/H1N1 or SARS in the recent years. Airborne infection isolation…
Ventilation and healthy classes are a recurring problem. Continuously increasing the air flow rate improves the living environment, but is unacceptable in…
This paper presents results from a project on the assessment of the indoor air quality (IAQ) benefits that might accrue from the use of a balanced energy…
This article proposes to study the impact of envelope and internal partition walls airleakage distributions, on the indoor air quality (IAQ) performance. It…
The implementation of decentralised ventilation units is growing, especially in the residential retrofit. These systems are typically simple to install on…
Diffuse ceiling ventilation is a novel air distribution concept, where the space above a suspended ceiling is used as a plenum and fresh air is supplied…
Air infiltration contributes to a heat loss typically representing up to one third of the heating demand of a building. The building airtightness, also…
The air renovation of a building should be controlled in order to ensure a proper level of indoor air quality while minimize heat losses. It is a crucial…
In this paper a new methodology is presented to determine airtightness of buildings. The common method for airtightness testing is through fan…
Nowadays the improvement of building airtightness is an essential condition to achieve high energy performance of buildings. Therefore, there is a need to…
