LoginAs an introductory note, this aims to place the need for cooling for thermal comfort into the context of overall energy efficient building design. Additionally, it stresses the role of ventilation in meeting cooling requirements.
Technical Reports
The AIVC's collection of technical notes on subjects including ventilation, infiltration, indoor air movement, and measurement techniques.
Volume content
The objectives of this work are: first to determine the theoretical energy requirements per constant mien unit of outdoor air used for ventilation for a number of different climates and locations in North America and Europe; and secondly to determ
TN 46: 1994 Survey of Current Research into Air Infiltration and Related Air Quality Problems in Buildings | 1995 | English | 186 pp
Provides a platform for the dissemination of information related to infiltration, ventilation, indoor air quality and energy use within buildings by means of a survey and analysis of current research.
Discusses the issues which influence the performance of heat recovery devices within typical building applications.
TN 44: Numerical Data for Air Infiltration and Natural Ventilation Calculations (replaced by Guide GU05) | 1994 | English | 100 pp
Organisations in many countries have contributed data to the AIVC to establish a unique collection of numerical data suitable for design purposes and model evaluation.
TN 43: Ventilation and building airtightness: an international comparison of standards, codes of practice and regulations. (replaced by TN55) | 1994 | English | 65 pp
The purpose of this comparison of specified airtightness and ventilation rates is to provide a reference document for all those involved in ventilation and building research.
