The aim of the study was to investigate the operation of different types of ventilation in placesconstructed underground and ground level; the effect of ventilation on indoor radon levels wasalso examined.
This research is part of project NATVENT (TM), a concerted action of nine institutions ofseven European countries under the Joule-3 program.
Natural ventilation and the role of passive stack chimneys in traditional excavated and surface dwellings in Santorini. | 1997 | English
This paper considers the role of passive stack chimneys in controlling indoor thermalconditions in the vernmlar houses on the volcanic island of Santorini .
This study aims at evaluating the energetical benefits of increased ventilation airflow rate tocool buildings.
Although several investigations on how to design airtight buildings have been performedand the results furthermore have been published, many designers and contractors are stillunaware of this knowledge.
Deterministic and non deterministic methodologies for the prediction of the air velocity in single sided natural ventilation configurations. | 1997 | English
An extensive experimental program on single sided natural ventilation was carried out within the frame of PASCOOL EC research project.
Introduction of air infiltration and ventilation in a simple modelling for energy consumption estimation in air conditioned buildings. | 1997 | English
This study reports on the introduction of air infiltration and mechanical ventilationin a model for energy consumption estimation. The model applies to air conditionned nonresidential building and is developped to need few inputs.
System safety analyses of the performance of mechanical ventilation systems - the quantitative approach. | 1997 | English
A method for estimating the reliability of mechanical ventilation systems in dwellings hasbeen developed. The analysis is based on component level reliability models interconnectedby so called fault-tree schemes.
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.
