The development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) made it possible to simulate the detailed flow field and temperature field within the room. The…
This research introduces the local exhaust system (hood) into the consulting room to prevent airborne infection, especially for close-distance conversion.…
Sufficient ventilation in clinics is critical for diluting virus concentrations and lowering subsequent doses inhaled by the occupants. Several advanced…
Indoor air quality in schools is of critical importance for the health and well-being of pupils and staff. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the essential…
This project aims to enhance the odor environment in laundry and linen rooms in nursing homes. The problem arises from the storage of soiled laundry in…
The scientific community has been aware of the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) for many decades, but the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a…
The existing standards for testing gas-phase air cleaners are based on challenging them with gaseous substances. They do not describe air quality…
Indoor air quality in residential buildings has been attracting more attention from the public. Many portable air cleaner products have been developed and…
The majority of research and hence the assessment methods and tools for thermal comfort assessment of ventilation systems are not based on findings for…
This study introduces a novel conceptual design of a mobile DV cooling unit that is aimed to support the ventilation and reinforce the thermal…
Naturally ventilated (NV) buildings, when well designed and operated, can provide adequate indoor environmental quality (IEQ) while reducing the building…
Buildings account for 40% of EU energy consumption and 36% of the energy related greenhouse gas emissions at present. Consequently, the net zero target set…
Most New Zealand schools are designed to be naturally ventilated, using openable windows (Ministry of Education Design Quality Standard Guidelines).…
As a result of the new initiatives and regulations towards nearly zero energy buildings, designers are more frequently exploiting the cooling potential of…
In recent years, naturally ventilated glass façades have become a common feature in the design and retrofit of large-scale non-residential buildings,…
With rising insulation standards and air tightness in buildings, the use of mechanical ventilation becomes more relevant. In this context, energy recovery…
Literature on the in-situ performance evaluation of Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) in low-carbon social housing suggests that they can…
The TAIL rating scheme for assessing the quality of Thermal, Acoustic, Indoor air, Luminous, and the overall environment was initially developed to assess…
We sleep more than twenty years during our lives. Sleep is essential for physical and psychological health. Yet, nearly no standards define indoor…
The main focus of this paper can be summarized in terms of the following two presuppositions: i) The process through which we select and apply indoor-…
