The study recommends adoption of the new higher ventilation rates, but with the use of alternative occupancy densities. To verify compliance with Standard 62-89, the study recommends the method of taking a ratio of temperatures to determine percent outdoor air with a total supply air measurement to determine supplied outside air for each air handler serving the building.
Air infiltration and ventilation has a profound influence on both the internal environment and on the energy needs of buildings. In most electrically heated high-rise residential buildings, in cold climates, during the peak winter conditions (below -18 deg C ambient temperature and above 15 km/hour wind velocity), the air infitration component contributes to heating load by 10 to 28 w/m2 - roughly 25 to 35% of peak heating demand. Any reduction in such uncontrolled air infiltration, without sacrificing indoor air quality, will have potential to reduce the peak heating demand.
The idea to start an Annex on mould, surface condensation and energy grew in 1984-1985. In September 1985, a workshop was organised at the Leuven University, Belgium, focusing on the state of the art in different countries. This workshop reve
