LoginFor that study, two tests were conducted to study the effects of HVAC system operation on contaminant uptake and distribution : two scenarios of tracer gas experiments were performed on an existing building simulating an external release.
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.
For the building project of the skilled nursing facility at the Washington veterans home in Washington state, natural ventilation with a complementary mechanical system has been chosen.
This paper demonstrates how to use the inverse CFD model with the quasi-reversability equation and numerical scheme for the identification of gaseous contaminant sources in a two-dimensional aircraft cabin and in a three-dimensional office.
For that paper, the flow field and the emission field of VOCs from the surface of building materials in a FLEC (Field and Laboratory Emission Cell) cavity are investigated by 3D CFD analysis.
For that study, a subsample of 396 Chinese rural households were monitored.
The influence of air humidification in aircraft, on perception of cabin air quality among airline crew was investigated in that study.
Presentation to International Energy AgencyWorkshop on Strategies to Phase-out Incandescent Lamps
Consumer Confidence/CFL Quality: What are we trying to answer? ???? Who/What is a consumer? ???? What is consumer confidence? ???? What is CFL quality (to the consumer)?
1.CFLs-Are we doing good?2.What are we going to phase out?3.What are the barriers today?4.Required improvements of the Quality Charter5.LED –the lighting of the future?
Phasing In High-Efficacy General Service Residential Lighting
1. Background • Energy & Climate Change • Incandescent Lamps Market 2. Environmental benefits of phasing out inefficient products 3. Product & Technology alternatives • Compact Fluorescent; Energy Saving Halogen; LED 4.
To promote the effort for energy conservation, it is also important to estimate the indoorenvironmental quality (IEQ) from the aspect of office workers productivity.
The impact of simultaneous short-term exposure to three environmental parameters (temperature,noise and air quality) on human perception and performance was studied in two identical climatechambers.
