The 6th AIVC Conference - Ventilation strategies and measurement techniques was held in the Southern Netherlands, 16-19 September 1985.
Contains 32 papers.
Volume content
Contains twenty seven papers from the sixth AIC Conference as follows: Ventilation, the balance between energy and well-being; The infiltration component of…
This paper reports the findings from tests undertaken in an untight, two-storey, brick-built detached test house. Different ventilation schemes were in use…
A multicell air flow computer program is used to determine the influence of 1) open windows and 2) closed internal doors on the ventilation rate of a semi-…
Although infiltration of outside air across the envelope of a building has been considered of prime interest in relation to energy conservation and indoor…
If the energy losses due to ventilation have obviously become an important problem since the energy crisis, there is still a lot to be done with respect to…
Measurement of air exchange rates, ages of air, and nominal and local ventilation efficiencies in large buildings is often complicated by the building size…
A survey is given of the sitution in The Netherlands with regard to ventilation and infiltration. Starting from a point of generally very leaky and hardly…
As part of a programme to develop measurement methods for determining the ventilation rates of large buildings, we performed two series of tests in a single…
Based on current concerns regarding indoor air quality and energy use, there is a need for in situ techniques for evaluating buildings' infiltration and…
A research is being carried out concerning the use of windows and doors in an appartrent building in Schiedam in the Netherlands, The…
Airtightness measurements were carried out in ten typical Dutch dwelling complexes. In each complex four homes were measured. The IMG calculation model was…
This paper describes a series of ventilation measurements carried out in two small factory units situated on an industrial estate in Newport, South Wales.…
The multiple tracer gas technique developed at UMIST has been applied to the measurement of roof-space ventilation rates and house to roof-space air…
In this paper ventilation of attics and crawl-spaces is investigated theoretically. Ventilation rates and temperatures of the spaces are calculated by means…
A Compact Equipment for Survey of Air Renewal (CESAR) was developed at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland. Controlled by a…
This paper describes a preliminary investigation of the validity of a means of calculating the ventilation rate of a large enclosure from experimental data…
It is often stated that advanced ventilation or air conditioning is expensive or energy-wasting. There are, however, several examples of highly energy-…
Air infiltration flows into different zones of a building can be measured with the constant concentration technique by injecting a metered amount of tracer…
Ventilation can be advantageous as opposed to adventitious and, with careful building design, can eliminate the need for air conditioning in summer. This…
The various meanings of ventilation efficiency are briefly summarised. The residual life time of a released tracer gas is chosen as the most meaningful and…
