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…
A six channel, computer controlled, tracer gas detection system for the measurement of infiltration rates and air movement in large single-cell industrial…
This paper outlines the development of guidelines for the design and installation of ventilation systems installed in energy efficient homes constructed…
In this paper we describe the development of a multi-tracer gas system for measuring interzonal air movement in buildings. The system consists of simple and…
The construction and performance of a dynamic wall house are described. It is suggested that such houses function much like the traditional houses with…
When controlling the performance of a ventilation system it is important to investigate how the system works together with the building it ventilates. It is…
For more than four years air infiltration measurements have been made on two nearly identical side-by-side test houses in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. This…
Sections include: measuring procedure air tightness of facades; evaluation of measuring air tightness in practice; infrared thermography; thermographical…
A computerised portable unit for measuring the ventilation efficiency by the tracer gas technique is described. The hardware of the unit is designed from…
Measurements of the air temperature and air velocity were carried out in four buildings without air-conditioning using a newly developed anemometer whose…
Air change rates are measured by an IR-gas-analyser coupled with a microcomputer which is programmed to control measurements as well as data acquisition and…
A simplified model of air infiltration has been developed at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, in order to expand the use of air flow calculation techniques…
It has been estimated that 15% of the energy used for building services in the United Kingdom is consumed in industrial buildings. A large proportion of…
A simplified pocket calculator model has been developed which can simulate the air flow distribution in multizone structures. The model is based on lumped…
A study has been made, both experimentally and analytically, on the characteristics of thermal performance of high-rise buildings using a simulated model…
Calculation of air infiltration in a large number of cases can give information of expected variations in yearly air change and energy consumptions. As…
The actual heating load of a building differs often from the designed load. One reason for this is the uncontrolled ventilation through a building envelope…
This paper describes one of the results of the IEA-annex 8 "Inhabitants behaviour with regard to ventilation". Annex 8 has shown that the occupants can play…
Ventilation has a considerable influence on both the indoor air quality and energy consumption of buildings. Three parameters can be identified which are of…
