A model for the application of probabilistic methods is the estimation of heat loss caused by convection and heat conduction through the material is developed.
IAQ and natural controlled ventilation requirements - performance and standard aspects. | 1997 | English
As everybody knows, today the air quality of an indoor environment may have several effectson our health; the beginning of serious breathing pathologies and of some forms of cancer,are with no doubt due to the presence of polluting and extremely n
Natural cross ventilation for refrigerative cooling reduction in a well insulated apartment. | 1997 | English
In this paper the energy impact of natural cross ventilation is examined conducting a set of crossventilation experiments in a well insulated apartment of a 5-storey building.
The concept of 'build tight - ventilate right' requires minimising air infiltration through theenvelope of a building and then providing adequate ventilation in a controlled manner tosatisfy the fresh air requirements of occupants.
Air distribution in an office building as measured with a passive tracer gas technique. | 1997 | English
A passive tracer gas technique - the homogenous emission technique was utilised formeasuring the air distribution in a part of an office building with displacement ventilation.Measurements were made during one winter period and one summer period.
In France, mechanical cooling is increasingly used in office buildings.
This study aimed to research the airtightness of the building envelope in apartments before and after renovation. Measurements were carried out in three apartment buildings. One to four apartments were examined in each building.
Prediction of the potential of self regulating natural ventilation devices: methodology and practical results. | 1997 | English
The performances of self regulating natural ventilation devices (devices of which the openingsection varies as function of the pressure difference across the device) strongly depend on thetype of building and its leakage characteristics.
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.
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.
