Four types of heat-pipe heat recovery systems were tested for application in passive stackventilation. The effects of fin shape, pipe arrangement and air velocity on the heat recoveryeffectiveness were investigated.
Due to the lack of proper sensors for odours, the odour concept, involving the unitsolf and decipol, is of very little practical use with respect to automatic control of VAVsystems.
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.
The significance of traffic related pollution levels and its dilution associated with altitude. | 1997 | English
This paper identifies the significance of pollution at five sites amongst the worst on the British mainland hence indicative of other polluted areas within Europe. Three sites are located in London and one each in Birmingham and Cardiff.
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.
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
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.
