LoginIn order to respond to global warming and natural resources depletion challenges, industrials from the building sector need to propose an adequate offer. Energy simulation tools can support this process.

Studying influence of airtightness on heating loads by coupling simplified simulation and multizone airflow model | 2009 | English
Thermal bridges increase the building energy demand for heating and cooling. For well insulatedenvelopes and buildings with increased energy efficiency, the influence of thermal bridging on theenergy consumption is of major importance.
The Swedish Code of Statutes SFS 1991:1273, Compulsory Ventilation Checks to be Continued | 2009 | English
Since 1991 has Sweden regulations on compulsory inspection of ventilation systems (OVK). Thereasons to issue these regulations were many studies on poor indoor climate and health problems for building occupants.
This study examines the potential for using passive ventilation systems to meet ASHRAE 62.2requirements as a step in the process for optimizing hybrid ventilation systems.
The French regulation on residential building ventilation relies on an overall and continuous airrenewal. The fresh air should enter the building through the habitable rooms while the polluted air isextracted in the service rooms.
Differences might arise between the design and the real load of ventilation systems during operation.Consequently, the fresh air demand usually varies over a wide range.
Energy Efficiency of Advanced Ventilation Techniques in Non-Residential Buildings and Their Barriers | 2009 | English
Air renovation inside buildings is crucial to have productive workers, since the lack of good indoor conditions affects human activity and promotes diseases (Fisk, 2000).
Ventilation Strategy for Civil Buildings in Response to Stricter Standards of Energy Conservation and Indoor-Air-Quality Issue in China | 2009 | English
China has been undergoing fast urbanization during the last three decades.
