Air infiltration and ventilation.

General background to the conference.

Colla M
Extended testing of a multi-family building using constant concentration and PFT methods.

More than two months of detailed test data have been gathered using modified constant concentration tracer gas techniques for a six-storey, 60 apartment,…

Harrje D T, Bohac D L, Feuermann D
Effective ventilation in offices - the occupant's perspective.

Air quality and draught avoidance are fairly important to office staff; consequently, the occupant's perspective should be taken into account when assessing…

Griffiths I D, Huber J W, Baillie A P
A study of the ventilation characteristics of a suspended floor

The ventilation and leakage characteristics of suspended floors are not well documented. As part of a larger study of air flows in housing, the air flow…

Ventilation habits in residential buildings.

Experimental investigations concerning energy savings achieved in buildings with passive solar components (e.g. large south-front windows, sunspaces or…

Erhorn H
Ventilation and indoor air quality in a modern office building.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly the National Bureau of Standards) has through an interagency agreement with the Public Building…

Grot R A, Persily A, Hodgson A T, Daisey J M
Determination of ventilation efficiency based upon short term tests.

In this paper a short term testing methodology is developed to evaluate the performance of ventilation systems with respect to control of indoor air…

Anderson R
Recirculation of air in dwellings. Differences in concentration between rooms in dwellings due to the ventilation system.

The Dutch Standard NEN 1087 "Ventilation of dwellings": Requirements (1) is at this moment under review. A requirement can be found about the quality of air…

De Gids W F, Phaff J C
Air leakage between apartments.

Air leakage through the building envelope is of great importance for the energy use of a building. However, from an indoor air quality standpoint, the size…

Levin P
Experimental analysis of air diffusion in a large space.

An experimental study in reduced scale model for ventilation inside a sheep-fold has been studied. The ventilating system consist of two slots in opposite…

Fissore A, Nusgens P
Market analysis of sensors for the use in demand controlled ventilating systems.

In the framework of a project of the International Energy Agency (IEA) , IEA-Annex XVIII - Demand Controlled Ventilating (DCV) Systems, which started in…

Raatschen W
Displacement ventilation by different types of diffuses.

The paper describes measuring results of the air movement from three different types of diffusers for displacement ventilation. Two of the diffusers are…

Nielsen P V, Hoff L, et al
Air infiltration induced by heating appliances.

Infiltration heat losses due to heating appliances located within the living space are normally evaluated by reducing the conversion efficiency of the…

Fracastoro G V, Masoero M
Natural airflows between roof, subfloor and living spaces.

This paper is concerned with natural air flows between major construction cavities in New Zealand houses. A two tracer technique was developed to measure…

Bassett M R
Ventilation design for a bus station.

The paper presents the development of a ventilation scheme for a large bus station and passenger interchange in Bilbao, Spain. The main objective of the…

Holmes M J, Salusbury T
A comparison of upward and downward air distribution systems.

Traditionally air has been supplied from the ceiling to the occupants below opposing the buoyancy effects due to heat convected from people, lights and…

Croome D J
Indoor formaldyhyde levels in energy efficient homes with mechnical ventilation systems.

Mechanical ventilation systems have been adopted in airtight energy- efficient houses in Canada to provide fresh air, remove moisture and indoor pollutants…

Riley M, Piersol P
Ventilation strategies in the case of polluted outdoor air situations.

Outdoor air pollution can have a bearing on the effectiveness of indoor air and the quality of ventilation. There is a pressing need to reflect on the…
