The proceedings of the eighth AIVC Conference contain 14 papers and 11 posters as follows: “Measurement techniques for ventilation and…
The Keynote speech gives a general outline of developments in the field.
The concern that a large number of housing units across Canada, and in particular, through Atlantic Canada are exposed to potential damage from wood rot due…
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in the USA has developed a multiple tracergas technique called BNL/AIMS (Air Infiltration Measurement System) for…
In the past years the need has grown for a sensitive flowrate meter with a very low pressure drop. Such a device can be used to measure flowrates of…
The 'Simplified Technique' is a method by which it is possible to determine approximately the infiltration and ventilation rates of large and complex…
The National Bureau of Standards has undertaken a research effort to develop a general air quality simulation program for buildings. At present there exists…
The accuracy of tracer gas measurements of building air infiltration rates has been a widely discussed topic. One question that has often come up at past…
In this paper the moisture-diagnosis prototype of a knowledge based expert system to assist in the identification and diagnosis of air leakage problems in…
Laboratory measurements have shown that when pressure differences are applied across wall and roof elements, the majority of the pressure drop takes place…
The mixing system (even called the dilution system) is normally used throughout the world to supply air to a premises. In the mixing system you blow air at…
The CO2-concentration of room air provides an indicator for the air quality in spaces without smokers. A classroom with mechanical ventilation has been…
This paper presents results of air leakage measurements on brick walls and concrete block walls, used as outer or inner leaf of a cavity wall. The results…
When carrying out pressure tests of models of multi-story buildings in The Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel, the external mean and RMS pressures are measured at…
This paper presents and discusses results of moisture transfer into timber frame constructions. The two mechanisms of transfer are diffusion and bulk air…
Measurements in some dwellings show differences of the absolute humidity as a function of the kind of ventilation (only natural or mechanical exhaust air or…
All the findings about indoor air quality is of little use to the average citizen, if they are not applied and and translated into rules incorporated in our…
Rising moisture from the ground has caused quite a lot of damage on foundations of Swedish buildings, in particular for the type concrete slab on the ground…
DAMP is an 'Expert System' or 'Knowledge Based System' (KBS) to aid diagnosis of causes of moisture damage found in buildings in New Zealand. This paper…
Summary of papers in the Proceedings of the Eighth AIVC Conference. Headings include measurement techniques, calculation techniques, design (control of the…
