Due to climate change, Western Europe is experiencing a surge in cooling demand, leading to higher summer temperatures accompanied by longer and stronger…
Due to its high demands regarding indoor environmental conditions, healthcare facilities are associated with high energy consumption. To move forward…
Urban settings and climate change both impact energy use, thermal comfort and ventilation of buildings. This is more noticeable in hot urban areas where the…
The future needs of indoor spaces in our buildings are likely to be cooling focused. With the widespread use of air-conditioning (AC) on the horizon there…
Airtight, highly insulated, and passively cooled buildings in the EU are designed under typical outdoor and indoor thermal conditions. With increasing risk…
This article provides a summary of a comprehensive examination of the current ISO 9972 standard, focusing on the enhancements needed to improve its…
The content presented comes from the paper under review “Quantitative correlation between buildings air permeability indicators: statistical analyses of…
Improving the knowledge on uncertainty for fan pressurization measurement is of first importance. It allows to assess the reliability of the measurement,…
Gas-phase air cleaners can be used to either reduce occupant dissatisfaction for the same outdoor air flow rate or to reduce the outdoor air flow rate for…
This manuscript discusses the energy-saving benefits of gas-phase air cleaning in Nordic buildings. Ventilation systems are crucial in creating a healthy…
Indoor air pollution is a significant concern due to its adverse effects on human health and productivity. With people spending most of their time indoors,…
International Energy Agency (IEA) Annex 78 was launched in 2018. The title of the Annex is “Supplementing Ventilation with Gas-phase Air Cleaning,…
Due to global warming, severe problems of buildings overheating during summer in temperate and hot climates arise. Thus, there is an increasing use of air…
Over time with thermal and energy regulations, buildings are increasingly insulated and airtight to control better the heat exchanges between the indoor and…
Comfort modelling is a critical scientific barrier to reaching better thermal satisfaction in buildings. It allows designers to combine different cooling…
In this work, we propose a method to couple the behaviour models developed with Python in a previous paper with the dynamic thermal simulation software…
In the United States, the realm of building enclosure design and commissioning is separate and distinct from the realm of mechanical design and…
The need for airtightness control is a reality given its impact on buildings’ energy use and IAQ. For the past few years, this fact has resulted in energy…
Airtightness is presented through various expression according to the standards and measurement methods of each country. To compare the airtightness of…
Due to the minimal energy requirement, the Passivhaus standard has been widely recognised and adopted to deliver low carbon buildings. To achieve this…
