An accurate temperature gradient calculation is essential for displacement ventilation (DV) system design, since it directly relates to the calculation of…
The real performances of ventilation systems on site remains a challenge in practice. One of the most common reasons for complaints by the building…
Noise remains a major concern for building occupants, both in their home and workplace. Ventilation system is one of the noise sources in buildings. Usually…
International there are many different requirements and regulations for ventilation. Sometimes the variation is more than a factor of five. There are…
Particulate matter with a diameter of ≤2.5µm (PM2.5) has been shown to be present in many buildings at concentrations that are harmful to human health.…
A systematic and efficient strategy is needed to assess and manage the potential risks to human health that arise from the manufacture and use of thousands…
In March 2016 a new regulation came into force in Belgium regarding the wellbeing at work, with specific requirements on the indoor air quality (IAQ). The…
As a result of new inquiries in 20 countries the ventilation requirements will be presented for different rooms in dwellings, offices and schools. These…
Airtightness is the most important property of building envelopes to understand the ventilation. Airtightness refers to the flow measurement through the…
This paper presents the results of a series of 30 fan pressurization tests in reproducibility conditions performed within a period of 10 days in October…
The air infiltration of a building, which fundamentally depends on its airtightness, can be a significant contributor to its heat loss. It can also be…
This paper introduces an experimental study of enclosure airtightness testing of an outdoor chamber using both the pulse technique and the blower door…
Since the 1970s, many authors have discussed the impact of poor airtightness on building energy use, indoor air quality, building damage, or noise…
