Keynote address of the 7th AIVC Conference. Address aims 1) to set an energy efficiency context for research into air infiltration; 2) to summarise current…
The paper describes the main results from a research project performed by "The Mobile Laboratory of Indoor Climate Measurements" one of the five mobile…
A large inquiry campaign began in 1985 on 100 social housing estates and 2,334 families were visited. The housing estates were selected according to their…
Within the framework of the International Energy flgency (IEA) Annex VIII , "Inhabitants Behaviour with Regard to Ventilation" an investigation has been…
During winter periods in four types of newly built terraced dwellings and in apartments of a flatbuilding,the daily behaviour and motivations of the…
This paper discusses the use of trickle ventilators in the design for natural ventilation in dwellings. The discussion is based around the results of a…
After years of intensive studies on indoor air pollution sources, pollution levels, condensation effects, building airtightness, and air change rates, we…
This research attempts to offer partial answers as to how and why inhabitants of a rented apartment building behave as they do in aeration. The authors…
The role of the occupant in buildings energy use has been evident in studies in many countries. Our experience since the early 1970's has indicated that…
One of the most important reasons for ventilation of dwellings is moisture control. Ventilation strategies differ. The article deals with 1) Ventilation as…
An energy efficiency monitoring programme was carried out from 1984 to 1986 by the South London Consortium Energy Group, United Kingdom Department of Energy…
In order to save energy, i.e. ventilation heat losses, the fresh air change rate should be adapted to the prevailing need. Even though it is a fact that…
The occupants' behaviour is one of the parameters which has the greatest influence on the air change in the dwelling. This applies both to naturally and to…
Occupants can significantly influence both the heating energy requirements and the indoor air quality of a building by opening and closing doors and windows…
A balanced ventilation system with heat recovery was designed and installed into an 11 storey prefabricated block building. Monitoring of the system…
The need for reduced energy consumption has led to an overall decrease of air infiltration rates in buildings. particularly in dwellings. Unfortunately.…
In this paper we approach the subject of ventilation and occupant behavior in multifamily buildings by asking three questions: 1) why and how do occupants…
Each occupant in a room should be able to control his own indoor environment. Individual control can be achieved in many ways: from simple window-opening to…
In France, most of the ventilation systems in dwellings now consist of exhaust vents linked up with a fan, and air inlets. A survey conducted by the CSTB…
