LoginFor that study, two types of air terminal devices for a personalized ventilation (PV) system in conjunction with either a mixing or a displacement total-volume ventilation system were installed in a mock-up of an office.
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.
The objective of the study was to investigate the human response to five air terminal devices (ATD) for a personalized ventilation system (PVS).
Five papers dealing with ventilation, comfort, indoor relative humidity, filtration and air cleaning constitute this file on "Indoor Air Quality". All the authors have in mind to obtain a good indoor air quality coupled with energy saving .
Thanks to the introduction of guidelines covering infection control, many facilities have been designed and built, and practical experience has been gained.
This paper deals with digital airflow simulation methods inside a painting booth with ventilated pits. Air movements and pollutant dispersion are analysed when painting the underside of an HGV trailer chassis.
This paper insists on preventive actions in the field of indoor air quality with the upkeeping of air treatment installations.
In the tertiary sector, the checking of the indoor air quality installations requires aeraulic measurements, microbiological samples and cleaning of the ducts.
In so far as most Inuit infants suffer from severe Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI) a pilot study was conducted in the home of 20 Inuit children during extreme cold weather conditions to obtain data on IAQ and to identify and classify ri
For that study, indoor/outdoor measurements have been carried out in two residential houses in Oslo.
In this paper, numerical simulations were performed to investigate the dispersion mechanisms of expiratory aerosols in an enclosure wtih two different types of of ventilation airflow patterns : unidirectional downward and celing return flow.
There are notable changes in the 2006 edition of the Guidelines for design and construction of hospital and health care facilities.
To vent or not to vent attics or roofs is a design and construction choice, not a requirement determined by physics or by building codes.
A new method developed for automatic detection of refrigerant leakage in distributed refrigeration system, is presented in this paper.
A robust Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) strategy for centrifugal chillers is presented in this paper along with its validation using both laboratory data from ASHRAE RP-1043 and field data from a centrifugal chiller in a real building.
In this paper, a method for adjusting refrigerant charge is presented. it uses a charge correction equation that requires data for two operating points for parameter tuning.
The aim of this study was to develop a theoretical method to calculate the effectiveness of Indirect Evaporative Cooling (IEC) with condensation from primary airflow.For this study, a set of analytical equations has been developed , to calculate
An overview of the standards developed under the EU mandate to CEN is presented in this paper.Some information on the CEN standardisation work is given along with information on how to participate and where to retrieve the information.
This paper gives some rules for the design of commercial kitchens concerning thermal comfort, heat exhaust, cooling systems, capture and containment of effluents .
This paper discusses the impact of indoor air on people at home, at school and at the office . The methods that can provide large improvements of IAQ while saving energy are also presented.
From the epidemiological point of view, the main pathway to infection spread is airborne transport.
