The total energy consumption for five detached houses with air change rates of around 3 per hour right after construction, was measured and compared with…
Since 1974 the french Authorities have insisted on energy being saved in all buildings. There was very strong pressure on manufacturers to obtain better…
Discusses the problems of designing ventilation for small houses. Small houses are considered to be far too elementary and there is no total view of the…
The aim of the present study is to measure the possible health effects among tenants after certain characteristic energy conservation measures had been…
The investigation was divided into several parts: 1, measurements of a mechanical ventilation system, 2, calculation model for this system, 3, measurements…
The purpose of the project has been to determine the saving in energy obtained in the practical operation of an FTX-system -that is, a fan-controlled supply…
Natural and forced ventilation are directly and indirectly influenced by the pressure distribution around a building. Results of full-scale pressure…
The heat losses from small houses, due to transmission and ventilation, are estimated. The estimation i s based up on the house owness daily readings of…
The normally used equation for calculation of infiltration flow rates into a house is a power law of which the exponent n is normally assumed to be 0.66 but…
Measurements in a test room of 28.4 m3 located at the top of a 3-storey building have been made to determine ventilation rates of different natural…
This paper discusses the potential for achieving an "energy-efficient" ventilation system by improving design procedures for natural ventilation. It…
For optimum building design it is of importance to investigate the comfort and the energy conservation obtained with different types of ventilation systems…
Explores the various roles that mathematical models can play in the design of energy efficient ventilation systems. Uses an example (an existing terraced…
Uses the SEGAS "Autovent" constant concentration apparatus to measure the fresh air entering and the local ventilation rate in each cell of amulti-celled…
Gives results from fiel trials of the performance of various mechanical ventilation systems. Carries out measurements in buildings built during the…
Describes experiments carried out in 4 low energy electrically heated houses incorporating extra thermal insulation and heat recovery mechanical ventilation…
Detailed studies of public sector modernisation programmes show that the principal problem resulting from lack of thermal insulation and inappropriate…
Uses mathematical models for formaldehyde concentrations in 3 normal rooms in a single family house to estimate ventilation rates needed to maintain the…
Distinguishes the problems of designing natural ventilation systems for summer and winter conditions and discusses in detail the objectives, methods and…
