The 39th AIVC Conference "Smart Ventilation for Buildings", was held in Antibes Juan-Les-Pins, France, 18-19 September 2018. Contains 140 papers and/or summaries.
Volume content
Ventilation is critical in interpreting indoor air quality (IAQ), yet few IAQ assessments report ventilation rates; even when they do, the measurement…
In France, the control of ventilation system at commissioning is mandatory in the context of the Effinergie + label and the measurement of airflows in…
The work reported in this paper extends previous work on the feasibility to characterise air leakage and mechanical ventilation avoiding intrusiveness of…
The steady pressurisation method measures the building leakage in a range of high pressures, typically 10-60 Pa. It is implemented by creating a steady…
The air tightness of eight apartment buildings containing six to eleven units each on three or four floors has been tested with and without guard-zone…
Conventional building management systems are costly to install in existing buildings. Building services fail, which results in a cascade of incorrect…
This study deals with ventilation effects on measured and perceived indoor air quality (IAQ) in a demonstrator building where IAQ problems can occur. Unlike…
Over the past few years there have been advances in sensing of some pollutants, primarily particles, that might lead to ventilation controls based on direct…
The difficulty in measuring IAQ indicators like VOCs and particles, lies in the multiplicity of the composition of these pollutants. Analysis of the…
The different methods for air flow rate measurement at air terminal devices are presented in this overview, such as van anemometer with a cone, small…
Two European standards EN 16211:2015 and EN 12599:2012 describe measurement methods for air flow.
The methods can be used at supply or exhaust air…
Occupants in non-industrial indoor environments should decide whether the indoor air quality is acceptable or not. This paper describes the method by which…
The proposed Annex should bring researchers and industry together to investigate the possible energy benefits by using gas phase air cleaners (partial…
This workshop session will consist of a series of presentations by members of the Board for the Indoor Environmental Quality – Global Alliance (IEQ-GA). The…
As one of the founding partners of the IEQ-GA, the networking with other organisations within the global alliance is for AIVC very important.
…
In these three presentations, we review the origins and history of the Indoor Environmental Quality Global Alliance, AIVC’s view of the potential value of…
Mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery are considered the most optimal systems for residential ventilation. This research focuses on…
In a recently built zero-carbon neighborhood, demand controlled exhaust ventilation systems (DCMEV) and mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery (…
The use of heat recovery ventilation systems is becoming more and more common. It is clear that these systems contribute to energy efficiency and good…
The concentration of carbon dioxide is used as an important index of indoor air quality representative of body odor or bioeffluents in Japan. In the…
