Volume content
Human thermal comfort is influenced by psychological as well as physiological factors. Several comfort indices, such as PMV, PPD, TSENS, ET*, DISC, and SET…
This paper reviews the literature for evidence of links between ventilation rates in dwellings and moisture related respiratory health with a particular…
The paper presents a procedure to estimate natural ventilation flow rates through buildings. The principle is to assume that the flow paths are known and…
This paper introduces a ventilation system that combines buried-pipes with multi-purpose windows with the aim of finding an energy efficient, environment-…
A building contains a number of large openings, such as doors and staircases. When the temperature of the spaces connected by these openings differs, the…
This paper reports a critical analysis of the assessment of contaminant removal efficiency. Measurements have been carried out in a ventilated room equipped…
Railway platform spot cooling has become an increasingly attractive means to improve thermal comfort conditions of existing subway stations. This paper…
Heat loss monitoring from a thermal manikin was undertaken representing an occupant in a classroom during a lesson period of 80 minutes in which the room…
The aim of that guidebook (74 pp), published by REHVA is to provide a clear analysis of the definitions of ventilation effectiveness and to present case…
The definition of a good indoor climate is important to the success of a passenger rail coach, not only because it will decide its energy consumption and…
In dwellings there is a desire to reduce ventilation heat loss, by reducing uncontrollable air infiltration, at the same time as providing adequate indoor…
The term air conditioning not only prescribes comfort temperature and relative humidity, but also the quality of air inside the room. Indoor Air Quality (…
‘Supply air’ windows are designed with an air gap between the inner panes of glass that is used as the incoming air path for room ventilation; air is pre-…
A methodology is presented for determining the air flow rate through a stack-ventilated single-spacedenclosure bearing a roof-mounted ventilation tower. We…
The purpose of this study was to find out the local intensity and extent of doorway draughts, the functioning of air curtains, and the variation of the…
The non-uniform behaviour of the air inside a room, which is important in comfort analysis, can be evaluated by zonal models. While not as fine-grained as…
The aim of this paper is to discuss the impact of the relation between varying indoor and outdoor conditions on the ventilation loads of buildings and to…
One of the two air distribution systems serving the office rooms of a 25-year-old large office building was balanced in autumn 2002. The supply and extract…
In order to study the energy performance of a school building incorporating a hybrid ventilation system in Grong, Norway, a detailed field experiment was…
It is only fairly recently that scientific and public concerns have focused on the probable health risk that the presence of air pollutants can cause in…
