During the last decade several surveys in Sweden have indicated that the indoor climate in existing schools is unsatisfactory, therefore a thorough project was carried out in Växjö).
Larsson R, Olsson S
A sudden contamination of the outdoor air by some toxic gas can have several causes. The primary goal of the investigation was to determine the protection afforded by sheltering indoors.
Siren K E
A heat recovery system reclaims heat from outgoing stale air, supplying it to incoming fresh air.
Wiltshire R, Littler J
This report presents the results from the registration throughout a month of relative humidity, temperature and outdoor air exchange as well as the concentration of carbon dioxide in each room of an inhabited single family house, in which all room
Nielsen J B
The occupant's behavior with respect to window opening may greatly affect the ventilation system, the energy consumption orland the indoor air quality.
Fleury B, Nicolas C
The present paper reports on tracer gas measurements performed in five large buildings during normal operating conditions. In all buildings air was supplied through ceiling diffusers and returned through a ceiling plenum.
Olesen B W, Seelen J
The dour threshold value of kitchen exhaust air was experimentally determined during typical cooking situations and tobacco smoking in a dwelling. During cooking, air from the exhaust duct was taken into a sample bag.
Luoma M, Kovanen K
Fluctuating airflow thorough buildings is caused by temporal and spatial variations of wind-induced pressures around building envelopes, and include pulsating airflow and eddy penetrations.
Haghighat F, Rao J, Riberon J
For more than 20 years, energy recovery systems have been operated successfully in European countries in comfort and industrial ventilation systems in order to reduce the heating and cooling capacity as well as to reduce the annual energy consumpt
Dehli F
Ventilation systems in dwellings should not only maintain the quality of the air, in other words limit pollutant concentration whatever the origin, but protect the structure, that is, limit condensation and the storage of excessive humidity in exi
Grelat A, Cohas M, Lemaire M C, Fauconnier R, Creuzevault D, Loewenstein J-C
Radon is the largest source of risk to human health caused by an indoor pollutant, at least in the industrial countries.
Bonnefous Y C, Gadgil A J, Fisk W J
The NORWEB Headquarters in Manchester, UK, is an air conditioned energy efficient office building of unusual design, completed in 1988. It has three stories with overhanging canopies providing solar shading and 21 % solar control glazing.
Dickson D, Collins P
This paper describes a method for measuring tbe dispersal of airborne contaminants by light-sheet illumination of aerosol tracen and digital image processing techniques.
Axley J W, Norford L K
Air extraction in the kitchen is an essential element in all ventilation strategies for dwellings. This can be done by natural ventilation or mechanical extraction. In practice, the use of mechanical kitchen hoods is very common in Belgium.
Geerinckx B, Wouters P, Voordecker P
A cross-flow polymer membrane enthalpy exchanger has been designed which provides both heat recovery and moisture dissipation in the ventilation of living spaces.
Rose W B
Besides the hygienic aspect, also the aspect of energy saving of heating residential buildings is very important. This is only possible by mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
Steimle F, Roeben J
Airtightness deficiencies of building envelopes and weaknesses in the ventilation systems can disrupt the operation of heating and ventilation systems. This can lead to an insufficient level of air quality and higher energy consumptions.
Riberon J, Villenave J G, Simeon R, Millet J R
