Regional climate change in cities is the most documented phenomenon of climate change . Higher urban temperatures are documented experimentally for…
Traffic sources contribute a large portion of the ambient nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter and ozone concentrations, the three ambient air pollutants…
Smartness is all around us. The HVAC industry is developing more and more products that have sensors, are intelligent, are connected to the Internet and are…
In future building regulations 2020, building performance is going to be extended to global performance, including indoor air quality (IAQ). In the energy…
In the field of energy performance, successive regulations pushed a "performance-based" approach, based at least on an energy consumption requirement at the…
As a consequence of the sustainable politics demanding regulations that allow the use of more efficient ventilation systems, the IAQ Spanish regulations…
Performance based approached for ventilation started to be used in Belgium in 2008 in the context of EP regulation. Until 2015, demand controlled…
Demand controlled ventilation (DCV) seems to be the main way to comply with both energy and internal air quality (IAQ) concerns. Largely spread in non-…
The building airtightness is essential to achieve a high energy performance. In most countries however, it is not mandatory to measure the airtightness. In…
Previous studies have compared the airtightness measurement of test enclosures utilising both the novel Pulse technique and the conventional blower door…
Building airtightness is a critical aspect for energy-efficient buildings as energy performance of a building can be reduced significantly by poor…
Requirements for measuring the building airtightness have been proposed and included by many countries for national regulations or energy-efficient programs…
Heating energy in buildings represents a significant proportion of the total global energy consumption. Uncontrolled airflow through the building envelope…
Mandatory building airtightness testing has come gradually into force in European countries, mostly because of the increasing impact of building leakage on…
HVAC systems in newly built or extensively renovated dwellings were all developed with the aim for energy saving with equal or better comfort. However,…
Duct routing often poses a great challenge when planning the installation of a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery. This is particularly true…
Humidity-based DCV systems have been widely used in France for 35 years and are considered as a reference system, including for low-energy residential…
The present paper aims at illustrating the practical use of the Annex68 IAQ Dashboard. To this end, numerical simulations have been performed to provide…
