The efficiency of removing excess heat by employing mixing ventilation is based on the properties of jets. Therefore the behaviour of jets in enclosures is important.
Karimipanah T, Sandberg M
Dynamic insulation stands for an insulation through which an air flow flows. The air flow is usually the normal ventilation flow. The air can flow in the same or in the opposite direction of the normal heat flow.
Jensen L
Ventilation is necessary to insure acceptable indoor air quality as well as to protect the building itself against damage due to condensation Ventilation rates however, must not lead to excessive energy consumption In order to comply with these re
Riberon J, Millet J-R, Villenave J G
A total of 177 measurements have been performed in apartments in multi-story buildings without mechanical ventilation. The buildings comprised renovated and non-renovated buildings built between 1930 and 1960.
Bergsoe N C
For several years the technology of chilled ceilings has been a favourite issue among HVAC technicians and underwent a boom in the past few years.
Mertz G
Ventilation codes for swimming pools are based on preventing condensation. To save energy, air recycle with dehumidification is common.
Dickson D
The paper will describe the development of the storm safety value, experience of its use and suggestions for use in other connections.
Egedorf M
The growing diffision of small power, gas-fired individual units for space heating and service hot water production, as well as concern about operational safety issues, has promoted greater attention to the understanding of ventilation mechanisms
Borchiellini R, Cali M, Girard M, Masoero M
The issue of energy consumption assessment is a complex one.
Irwin C, Edwards R
For thermal comfort and energy conservation reasons, displacement ventilation and radiative cooling systems are increasingly used.
Koschenz M
In order to speed up the development of health, energy-efficient buildings, the City of Stockholm has formulated a programme for the building of apartment houses.
Fyrhake L, Hedkvist P-A, Hult M
Cooling ceilings are more and more proposed, in order to eliminate excess heat in office buildings without consuming much energy in air transport. On the other hand, piston ventilation is proposed to efficiently eliminate contaminants.
Roulet C-A, Cretton P, Kofoed P
This paper shows the extensive influence of humidity on comfort, cooling load and refrigeration capacity. Modern computer programs allow an effective consideration of humidity in systems.
Steimle F
Within the framework of demonstration and industrial pilot projects in the energy sector supported by the Commission of the European Economic Communities, an important experiment has been dedicated to the HYGRO-ADJUSTABLE NATURAL VENTILATION (Cont
Dalcieux P
In conjunction with IEA Annex 18, DCV-systems, a test on an auditorium in a school in Tyreso south of Stockholm has been carried out.
Svennberg B A, Mansson L-G
A new ventilation and cooling system called OKOMAIR has been developed and investigated. The main idea is to separate carrying off cooling loads and providing fresh air to the occupants without mixing it with the return air.
Barath B
A combined thermal and ventilation model has been used to investigate the seasonal variation of air infiltration rates and ventilation heat losses in modern industrial buildings.
Jones P J, Powell G, Alexander D K
The air distribution in a room is investigated using computational fluid dynamics. Four common methods of supplying air to a room are compared.
Awbi H B
The importance of natural ventilation, typically restricted to residential buildings application, is rapidly increasing also within the commercial buildings.
Beccali G, Cannistraro G, Giaconia C, Rizzo G
A test room which was built at a scale 1:5 to the original one has been used to investigate air-conditioned rooms. The original room was specified by the international project IEA ANNEX 20.
