CRR, the Regional Center for Radioactivity, is monitoring Veneto, a region in the north-east of Italy, to trace a map of areas with elevated indoor radon levels. This survey is based on analysis of territorial distribution of radon concentration in dwellings. Maps of potential risk are searched in the upper part of the region based on the indication of a previous survey. Percentage of dwellings exceeding reference levels are estimated on the base of log-normal data distribution. Normalizations to ground floor or average housing type are produced.
Field measurements of the indoor climate have been carried out in 128 lightweight timber-framedetached houses in Finland and in Estonia during the years 2002-2005. The temperature and relativehumidity were continuously measured in bedrooms, living rooms and outdoors for each house at 1-hourintervals over a 1-year period.
This study reports ventilation measurement and occupant questionnaire results from newly built 102 Finnish detached houses. The results show that ventilation units were used constantly and the fan speed setting was changed very seldom. There was as light tendency to use higher speed in the summer than in winter. Ventilation units provide...
This work presents a field measurement study, investigating the airtightness of 64 French dwellings less than ten year old. Buildings have been classified according to the type of construction (masonry or timber frame) and of occupancy mode (multi- or single- family). Using a fan-depressurization technique, we assessed the air leakage rate of each dwelling, based on a theoretical flow model that relates the infiltration airflow rate to the differential pressure .
