Five supplementary papers from the sixth AIVC Conference as follows: The performance of ventilation in an untight house; Influence of open windows on the interzone air movement within a semi-detached dwelling; Interpretation and error analysis of multi-tracer gas measurements to determine air movement in a house; Inhabitant's behaviour with regard to ventilation. A report of the work of Annex VIII; A multi-tracer system for measuring ventilation rates and ventilation efficiencies in large mechanically-ventilated buildings.
This handbook gives a comprehensive explanation of the theoretical and practical aspects of measuring important parameters for understanding air infiltration and ventilation within buildings. Discussed parameters include: airtightness of the building envelope and its component leakage paths; air exchange rates within a building and with the external environment; efficiency of the ventilation system; flow rates in the ventilation network. It has been designed so that material suited to differing levels of expertise is readily accessible.
