LoginThe impact of the work motivation on the occupants’ work performance of serial one-figure addition task and proofreading task was studied in two types of experiments, i.e., type A of cool condition (22 deg C) and type B of neutral condition (25 de
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.
This paper presents the development of distribution models of office employee’s thermal sensation and an introduction to a methodology how to integrate the fact that humans perceive temperature differently with the effects of temperature on mental
A long-term field study was conducted in an office for seven months to clarify the effect of thermal environment on productivity. Seven male software programmers participated as subjects.
A computer program for both field survey and laboratory experiment was developed toevaluate performance of office works and to link the findings from experiments to the actualoffices.
Field studies have shown that speech is the most distracting sound in open-plan offices. On the other hand, laboratory studies have shown that speech impairs the performance of cognitively demanding work tasks, e.g.
A subjective experiment was conducted in a climatic chamber to evaluate the effects of improvement of indoor environmental quality on occupant’s performance.
This paper presents an evidential review of current knowledge on the issue of walking versus sedentary behaviour in office environments.
Environmental temperature in which perform commercial hybrids on privately-owned family farms in the Banat area (România) has a strong impact on the valorisation of feed and particularly on energy, as there is an optimal temperature at which feed
The purpose of this paper is to assess the health and wellbeing implications of working in adeep plan office building in a temperate climate and illustrate how office design can add to ordetract from productivity.The authors have carried out post
In this study, energy consumptions associated with the change in outdoor air flow rate areanalyzed based on numerical methods.
When room ventilation is based on the stratification or zoning strategy, the ventilation airflow rate is determined on the grounds of the convection flows of the heat sources.
The aim of this study was the experimental determination of particle deposition for both different particle size fractions and different indoor surface materials. The selected surface materials were glass, gypsum plate, carpet, and curtain.
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) tests have been carried out for toluene adsorbed on theactivated carbon fibers (ACFs) supported TiO2 photocatalyst in an environmental conditioncontrolled chamber.
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate an ability of foliage plants quantitatively toremove chemical contaminants by experiments using a small desiccator for the different kindsof plant under the different luminescence and light sources, fl
This study conducted the experiment of concentration reduction effect if indoor air pollutants to Korean native plants, Fatsia japonica Decne. et Planch. and Ardisia pusilla DC.
The Swedish indoor climate guidelines issued by Swedvac has been thoroughly revised. The new document is adapted to harmonize with related international, European and Swedish standards.
A field study of the performance of the Dutch Adaptive Temperature
Limits guideline | 2007 | English
Field measurements and recording of occupant thermal responses and behavioral actions in 4buildings clearly demonstrates adaptation: at higher outdoor temperatures, higher indooroperative temperatures are judged as comfortable by the occupants.
The objective of the presented research work was to study the effects of moderate operative temperature drifts on human thermal comfort, perceived air quality, and intensity of SBS symptoms.
Based on a heat balance equation between humans and the environment, the authors developed a theoretical derivation of the indoor WBGT formula, which was originally established empirically by Yaglou and Minard.
Problems following the application of optimal operative temperatures estimated on the basisof PMV and the necessity to apply correct values into the new Czech Government DirectiveNo.
