This study is to investigate the characteristics of indoor air temperature distributions and airflow patterns with three air diffusing systems in heating period and to find the methods which can predict those indoor environmental conditions effect

There are often tradeoffs among improving IAQ (Indoor Air Quality), maintaining thethermal comfort, and reducing energy consumption for HVAC (Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning) systems.
Takemasa T, Moser A
Within an International Energy Agency (IEA) project (Annex 27) experts from 8 countries(Canada, France, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, UK, and USA) have developed toolsfor evaluating domestic ventilation systems during the heating season.
Mansson L-G
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indoor air quality parameters in a residentialdwelling using information from the field.
Giorgiantoni G, Giuli G
Recently well-insulated and well-airtightened houses are increasing in Japan. Those houses havesome problems of air quality because of formaldehyde from construction materials. Ventilationsystems have possibility to solve these problems.

During the last decade, an increasing interest in Underfloor Air-Conditioning (UFAC) systems has emerged. This is due mainly to an increased demand from employees for a greater control over their working environment.
Chung K-S, Han H-T, Cho C-G, Kong S-H, Cho M-K
In this paper, analysis of the ventilation requirements of enclosed vehicular parking facilities is discussed. First, a compilation of existing U.S.
Ayari A, Krarti M
Parametric studies have often been used for sensitivity analyses in the field of the pharmaceuticaland agricultural sector.
Adalberth K, Kronvall J
To evaluate the performance of a ventilation system, the local mean age of air has usually been used to estimate how efficiently fresh air is diffused to a desired location.
Peng S-H, Davidson L
Few detailed comparisons of modeled ad measured pollutant concentrations in multizonebuildings have been published.
Sextro R G, Daisey J M, Feustel H E, Dickerhoff D J, Jump C
An efficient ventilation system is characterised by a well-organised and turbulence-controlled airstream that rapidly corrects disturbances in air quality and thermal comfort in the ventilated space.Air supply and exhaust conditions are investigat

Based on concerns about indoor air quality and trends towards tighter envelope construction,there has been increasing interest in mechanical ventilation of residential buildings in the UnitedStates.
Persily A K
The ventilation engineer's plan at the design stage could be influenced by many factors. It may also be different from the requirements for the final users of the spaces.
Lee H, Awbi H B
New thermodynamic energy "water potential" based on the chemical potential of a component of mixture gases is defined as the driving force of gaseous phase water flux.
Ozaki A
Scale model experiments give possibilities for analyses of the design conceptions of ventilation especially of air distribution in large enclosures.
Hurnik M, Mierzwinski S, Popiolek Z
In this paper, a zonal model used to predict the air movement, temperature distribution and airquality in a room is presented.
Musy M, Wurtz E, Nataf J-M
There is a growing demand for buildings to have a high indoor air quality environment. Twoof the main elements that contribute to this quality are temperature and air distribution withinthe occupied space.
Tinker J A, Al-Garny A M
During the experiments and under the experimental conditions, displacement ventilation with air outlets close to floor level were found to produce the lowest concentrations of hazardous substances and aerosols in the working areas of kitchen appli

The study was to test five units used in single house mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery.
Bernard A M, Lemaire M-C, Spennato B, Barles P
Temperature and relative humidity have been measured in a BRE test house to investigate the vapour content in the void beneath the timber floor. The void can be ventilated naturally or by means of a fan supplying or extracting air.
