This paper provides scientific evidence that electrified homes in South African rural villages have lower levels of air pollution compared to the non-electrified homes using fuel or wood. The measured air pollutants were RSP (stationary respirable particulate matter), the CO in the kitchen and the CO on the child.
The deposit of particles lower than 5µm diameter, depends on the airflow path within the room along with the strength of the ventilation.This parameter has to be taken into account to predict particle indoor air quality. For that study, a numerical model
Has the DOAS the ability to provide sufficient air movement to meet comfort requirements ? The test results from a DOAS delivering the minimum ventilation air via overhead high induction diffusers are presented in this paper.
Standard 55-2004, on thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy was recently published and approved by ASHRAE and ANSI. This article gives an overview of the key features and limits of applicability of that standard.
In hot summer days, in Bucharest the air temperature is over 36°C and the relative humidity exceeds 50 %. That explains the big air-conditioning demand for tertiary buildings. This paper deals with an experimental and a numerical investigation of an air-c
In this paper, an example of how to use the dynamic building and system simulation to design, determine and optimize the characteristics of a heating and cooling system of a school building in southern Germany, is presented.
This paper is the summary of the 2003 AIVC/BETEC conference with its different parts: Health and Building Science, Building evaluation, Single-building studies, Experimentation, Building science, Strategies and New directions.
In this paper, the development of a radiation module coupled with a previous 3D-CFD code is described. This module takes into account the radiative heat transfer between the active surfaces, including those relative to the occupants.
A satisfying building commissioning depends on both using right models and using models right. Through 3 case studies, this paper shows how to use simulation models correctly, to commission HVAC systems.
This paper presents a tool for manual commissioning of air handling units with the idea to combine the measurements with simulations. Thus the value of the measurements will increase.
