Measurements of Hybrid Ventilation Performance in an Office Building

This paper focuses on hybrid ventilation performance in an office building. It presents measurement results from the new headquarters of the company Bang & Olufsen, which served as one of the case study buildings in IEA ECBCS Annex 35. Ventilation and control strategy, as well as operational experience of the hybrid ventilation system is presented. Measurement results include long-term values of temperatures, CO2 and energy use for assisting fans and heating of ventilation air as well as electricity use for appliances.

Turbulent Air Flow Characteristics in a Ventilated Hospital Railway Coach

The aim of this work is to investigate turbulent air flows, through measurements inside railway coaches employed for the transport of sick persons. In this kind of environment, assuring occupant comfort and eliminating potentially annoying draught is necessary for safeguarding patients inside the train. As it is known, air velocity is not uniform but, instead, it fluctuates. It is these fluctuations that are the origin of local discomfort. This can result in a draught, which is defined as a local undesired cooling of the body.
