LoginBy modeling the particles deposition in ventilation ducts, the authors discuss the effect of ventilation duct as a particle filter.
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
In this study, a step by step process has been used for the development of deemed-to-satisfy design solutions, that cope with the energy efficiency - thermal comfort - indoor air quality dilemma (EE-TC-IAQ Dilemma), for a performance based code.
A combined system of chilled ceiling, displacement ventilation and dessicant dehumidification is presented in that paper. It is designed and applied for space conditioning in a hot and humide climate as in China.
This paper reports a study based on CFD simulations of refuge floor natural ventilation induced by wind flow around a high-rise building. The simulations are validated by wind tunnel measurements.
For that study, the thermal performance of two passive cooling systems under hot and humid climate condition is experimentally investigated.
The aims of that paper were : first, to demonstrate the acoustics and ventilation design tool generating the geometric features, the simple acoustics properties and the natural rates for buildings, ranging from a simple open-plan office to a mult
The spread of bacteria within an isolation room is closely related to room air distribution.
A theoretical investigation into the performance of a novel mop-fan air cleaning system for buildings has been made for that study. That system is able to perform self-cleaning while circulating indoor air throughout the building space.
A thermal model of a greenhouse is presented in that paper, it is based on fan-pad evaporative cooling. The thermal performance of the greenhouse, as predicted by the model under different climatic conditions is analyzed.
For that study, two Norvegian schools with CO2-sensor based demand controlled displacement ventilation (DCDV-CO2) are analysed and compared with traditional constant air volume (CAV) ventilation. The analysis period lasted one week in November.
For that study experiments have been performed using either particle production or ozone removal as probes for a better understanding of oxidation processes on filter surfaces.
The aim of that study was to compare both the Eulerian and Lagrangian modeling methods with an emphasis on their performance for predicting particle concentration distributions in ventilated spaces.
The effect of building recirculation rates on the concentrations of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), resulting from reactions between indoor limonene and ozone is examined in that study.
This article examines the effectiveness of air cleaners, ranging from portable to duct-mounted devices. For VOCs removal or combined removal of VOCs and particles there is no fully established standard testing method.
The conclusions of an earlier research on humidity control in stand-alone houses are first presented in that paper, then a discussion follows on RH control targets , observed RH levels and the levels at which mold growth occurs.
In that paper, an experiment conducted on decreasing VOC concentration in rooms made with adsorptive building materials is reported.
A model for displacement ventilation prediction based on plume rise of single point heat source was developed for that study. Numerical and experimental data are compared .
For that paper, used supply air filters have been studied by sensory and chemical methods. Thermodesorption/cold trap (TCT) and headspace (HS) devices were used too to examine the filter dust. Results and conclusions are presented.
Air distribution solutions to lower air velocities and good temperature control are studied in that paper. Measurements and temperature simulatins were carried out in 6 schools.
In this paper, the costs of asthma are analyzed ( the direct medical costs, the absenteism) and home environmental interventions to reduce asthma triggers are presented : mechanical methods that are effective both in reducing allergen loads and
