This paper presents the results of a series of specially designed experiments to study moisture transport across bonded or natural contact interfaces between building materials.
About 100 office buildings in the Flanders and Brussels regions have been subject to a surveyof energy aspects and indoor climate parameters.
Nowadays the awareness concerning the environmental pollution and the demand of transparent facades in architecture, lead research in finding new solutions to increase the energy performances of the building and the installations as well.
This study investigates the behavior of vapor in a ventilated room in which vapor is being produced.
Double skin façades may help combine a high degree of transparency with high thermal and solar performance. Advanced façades serve as filters and may be responsive to changes in environmental conditions and occupant requirements.
The mitigation to reduce indoor pollutant concentration are increasing ventilation rate or to reduce the emission of the pollutant which is also common in VOCs.
A field survey on thermal comfort in Algeria has never been previously attempted, and for this reason the present study was conducted. The present paper will present a field study of thermal comfort in Algeria.
Field measurement of the airtightness and delivery effectiveness of HVAC duct systems. | 2002 | English
This paper presents the results of a field study on five HVAC duct systems in France.
Technical procurement of demand controlled ventilation for dwellings based on performance specifications. | 2002 | English
Swedish dwellings often have mechanical ventilation with an almost constant air flow independent of variations in loads. The performance of these ventilation systems is often not satisfying. The occupant habits have changed e.g.
Integration of high environmental quality comfort requirements during the retrofitting of educational buildings. | 2002 | English
A important part of educational buildings must be retrofitted in many European countries, in the next years, for historical and demographic reasons.
Energy savings in multi-functional buildings : an historical context for a case study in Rome | 2002 | English
The historical headquarter of Italian Ministero degli Esteri (Ministry of External Affairs) in Rome named as "Palazzo della Farnesina" is a very large (about 700.000 m 3 of volume) and complex multi-functional building.The objective of present stu
Energy conservation represents a main concern for the environmental, economical and social problems. In this field, educational buildings are large consumer of energy and in many countries need retrofits.
Calculation of turbulent flow for building ventilation by means of jet profiles with regard to wall influences | 2002 | English
Basis of this work was the question of the formation of air flows in ventilated test rooms with regard to wall influences.
Winner of First Prize in the 2 nd Commonwealth Inter-school Design Competition organised by theCommonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), 1991. The winning design was a pair of houses with wind towers.
Enerkenn : web-based method to generate specific energy consumption data for evaluation and optimization of office building operation | 2002 | English
Insufficient concern about energy efficiency during the design and/or the operation of a building is the main reason for the high energy consumption of existing buildings.
The needle heat exchanger (acts as a pre filter EU3) was installed in front of the glass fiber used as a fine filter (EU7) in the supply air chamber.
Environmental assessment of energy conservation technologies for heating and ventilation - A case study - | 2002 | English
More than three quarters of all consumed energy in buildings are used for heating, ventilation and sanitary hot water preparation.
Particle release of fine filters during different operational conditions of ventilation system. | 2002 | English
The fine filter (EU7) was included in the ventilation system which operated at full capacity only during working days.
The Portuguese National Museum for Archaeology is undergoing an expansion and retrofitting. It is currently housed in one of the most important ancient monuments in Portugal: the Monastery of Jernimos.
