The significance of traffic related pollution levels and its dilution associated with altitude. | 1997 | English
There are a number of methods available concerning with distribution of air in buildings. Within control research, one can find new control algorithms which have not yet been used in practice.
One of the first sorption-supported air-conditioning systems ("Desiccative Evaporative Cooling Systems") in an industrial building in Germany was installed in a printing office in Waiblingen, a town in southern Germany.
A difficulty when designing natural ventilation in office buildings is the lack of simple designtools.In order to be able to predict natural ventilation air flow rates and indoor air temperatures atthe design stage, a computer model has been devel
The IEA project Annex 27, Evaluation and Demonstration of Domestic Ventilation Systems,have come to the stage that simplified tools can be presented in a total scheme.
This paper will present a general approach that may be used to solve natural ventilation designproblems typically addressed at the preliminary design stage - How wide should windows beopened in a given building for wind-driven cross ventilation on
Temperature and cooling demand in a room summertime are influenced by numerous factors,like internal gains, ventilation, solar gain, behaviour of occupants, thermal inertia of the roomand outdoor conditions (climate).The thermal environment and co
Study of the ventilation on an ancient building located in the centre of Rome and now used as a university office. | 1997 | English
An investigation of some Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) parameters in a significant office of the State in the area of Rome was undertaken.
This paper discusses summer cooling of buildings by means of natural ventilation. Computational fluid dynamics is used to predict the ventilation rate in a room with a Trombe wall.
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.
