The field research project MONICAIR indicates that ventilation systems that fully comply with Dutch building codes show large differences in their IAQ-performance in habitable rooms during heating season and do not always achieve acceptable IAQ-le

Volume content
Reviewing legal framework and performance assessment tools for residential ventilation systems | 2015 | English | 8 pp
Ventilation performance and indoor air pollutants diagnosis in 21 French low energy homes | 2015 | English | 9 pp
Ventilation’s historical goal has been to ensure sufficient air change rates in buildings from a hygienic point of view. Regarding its potential impact on energy consumption, ventilation is being reconsidered today.
Shifting the IEQ Paradigm from Comfort Silos to Holistic Health and Performance | 2015 | English | 2 pp
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is generally taken to encompass four main factors: indoor air quality (IAQ), thermal conditions, visual quality, and acoustical quality.
It is well known, that energy consumed by the HVAC systems in buildings represents an important part of the global energy consumed in Europe (Directive 2010/31/EU). Latent heat storage has been widely studied (Cabeza et al. 2011, Zhou et al.
Thermodynamic analysis of buildings with natural ventilation and indoor air quality | 2015 | English | 9 pp
The aim of this study is to analyse the behaviour of natural ventilation techniques in low-rise commercial buildings in terms of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
Performances of a simple exhaust mechanical ventilation coupled to a mini heat pump: modeling and experimental investigations | 2015 | English | 12 pp
Nowadays, important efforts are deployed to reduce energy consumption in the field of residential buildings.
