A method for the economical optimisation of the design temperatures and the connecting flows of a cooling system. | 1997 | English
The planning parameters of a cooling system for ventilation, for example the vaporization andcondensing temperatures, heat capacity flow rates, design temperatures and designtemperature differences have a strong influence on the investment and ope
IEA Annex 27: comparison of performances of different ventilation systems in similar dwellings. | 1997 | English
The main goal of IEA Annex 27 "Evaluation of ventilation systems" is to develop tools toevaluate ventilation systems in an objective way in terms of indoor air quality, energy,comfort, noise, life cycle costs, reliability and other building relate
Passive cooling by natural ventilation, salt bath modelling of combined wind and buoyancy forces. | 1997 | English
We examine conditions under which the natural forces of wind and buoyancy may beharnessed in order to provide ventilation for cooling.
EC-THERMIE project Heerlerbaan: multifunctional appliances for retrofitting residential buildings. | 1997 | English
Many post-war residential buildings in the Netherlands have collective heating systems with poor energy efficiency. Also ventilation and DHW systems usually do not comply with current requirements.
This paper deals with the interzonal air movement in a building, throughhorizontal openings, under natural convective conditions.
Stack ventilation and cooling for urban sites - research project funded under the UK "Partners in Technology Programme". | 1997 | English
The paper outlines the value of roof intake air ducts to serve largely passively ventilatedand cooled buildings in urban areas.
Within the EU project NATVENT, which deals with the application of natural ventilation in office type buildings, one of the items to be studied was controlled air flow inlets.
Evaluation of thermal comfort impact of direct fresh air supply in Winter. Part 2: comparison of different ways of air supply to exhaust only ventilation. | 1997 | English
IEA Annex 27 "Evaluation and Demonstration of Domestic Ventilation Systems" has been engaged in developing the evaluation tools for various aspects of their performance.
The main source of humidity in office buildings is the human occupant. Moisture is therefore a result of heat transmission from the person to the room air.
Design of low energy office buildings combining mechanical ventilation for IAQ control and night time ventilation for thermal comfort. | 1997 | English
The design of low-energy office buildings requires specific attention to an energy efficient concept for providing good indoor air quality conditions.
