LoginThe air exfiltration part of ventilation is often difficult to determine and its part of the energy balance is therefore usually determined as a remainder or given a constant value.
10th AIVC Conference - Espoo, Finland - 25-28 September 1989

This paper presents a new technique for supply of outdoor air directly through external walls into a dwelling room without any draught problems.
New design of central units in air heating systems for heating and ventilation in domestic buildings. | 1989 | English
In central units of air heating systems the supply air flow must meet the actual heating demand. Most of central units for air heating systems have only one fan , which is designed for the maximum air flow at the maximum heating capacity .
Multizone flow analysis and zone selection using a new pulsed tracer gas technique. | 1989 | English
This paper presents and evaluates a new method, based upon tracer gas techniques, for determining interzonal airflows and effective volumes in a multizone enclosure.
This paper examines some designs which lead to indoor air pollution and exhorts mandatory maintenance of all building services which determine the health and safety of the building occupants as anintegral part of our city bylaws.
A tracer gas technique for determining volumes and air flow rates in multi-cell systems with a single tracer gas is considered.
During the past decade a multitude of diagnostic procedures associated with the evaluation of air infiltration and air leakage sites have been developed.
A modern concept for office buildings: energy saving and good indoor climate are no longer contradictory. | 1989 | English
An up-to-date design concept for office buildings results in a very low energy consumption and provides a better indoor climate at the same time.
The climatical conditions in Sweden are such that it has almost always been necessary to tighten the houses quite thoroughly in order to avoid cold-draught and to make as good use of the heating as possible.
What does the designer of a future energy-efficient building ask of the air flow specialist? - Static predictions of air flow patterns and optimization of thermal comfort and indoor air quality at design conditions will not be enough for him.
Annex 14 -Condensation and Energy- started in April 1987, with a take of meeting in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The annex itself was born after a moisture-workshop in September 1985 at the Laboratory of Building Physics, KULeuven, Belgium.
Tracer gas techniques have become widely used to measure the ventilation rates in buildings.
The IEA Annex 18 Demand Controlled Ventilating Systems-(DCV-Systems) with 9 participants are just in the middle of the work.
