Investigations on air change and air quality in dwellings.

Using passive sampling techniques, including a passive sampling, multiple tracer gas technique (the PFT-technique), the Danish Building Research Institute has performed field measurements in about 130 dwellings. The dwellings comprised detached, naturally ventilated single family houses and single family houses and flats ventilated with exhaust ventilation systems.

Free cooling with displacement ventilation.

Free Cooling is a mode of operation of a mechanical ventilation system to remove excess heat from office rooms during summer nights. A case study demonstrates, that free cooling can be quite effectiv and consumes a comparatively small amount of energy. Computer simulations give insight into the physical mechanisms and allow parametric variations.
