Prediction of the indoor air quality trend in a dwelling in the Mediterranean climate. | 1999 | English
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indoor air quality parameters in a residentialdwelling using information from the field.
Evaluation of the effects of ventilation systems on temperature, humidity, air quality and energy consumption in multiple dwellings. | 1999 | English
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.
In this paper, analysis of the ventilation requirements of enclosed vehicular parking facilities is discussed. First, a compilation of existing U.S.
Application of statistical experimental design for parametric simulation studies in building physics, with an emphasis on indoor air. | 1999 | English
Parametric studies have often been used for sensitivity analyses in the field of the pharmaceuticaland agricultural sector.
Performance evaluation of a displacement ventilation system for improving indoor air quality: a numerical study. | 1999 | English
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.
Energy loss due to ventilation: impact of average values and simplifications on calculations. | 1999 | English
The project of CEN Standard from the Ventilation for dwellings group TC156/WG2/AH4 [1]for airflows calculations is being submitted to enquiry.This method can be easily compared to AIVC guides to calculate the ventilation airflow(natural or mechani
Chinese food is delicious. There are many kinds of cuisine. But the stir-fry, fry and deep-fry produce a large amount of steam and smoke which cause indoor air pollution seriously. So it must be controlled.
Appraisal of building envelope alternatives in terms of overall physical performance. | 1999 | English
The envelope as fictional building element acts as a filter intended to regulate energy andmass flows. The overall performance of the envelope is ascertained by the combined effects ofthe functional components.
The U.S.
Comparison of indoor air quality between air-conditioned building and naturally ventilated building during heating season. | 1999 | English
Field measurements were made during the heating season to compare IAQ between an air– conditioned building (Building A) and a naturally ventilated building (Building B) situated in the centre of Pyongyang and similar in architectural design, numbe
The energy saving practice of stopping ventilation systems at night may reduce the daytimeair quality.
The improvement of air quality due to self-restricted air consumption in regions as well as globally appears to have considerable promise.
The purpose of this study is to provide a model to facilitate the simulated evaluation of theenergy consumption for different mushroom house and climate set point configurations.Climate management in this application is complex, including control
Three buildings are investigated to study the indoor air quality and the impact of the outdoorair pollution. These buildings, a swimming pool, a school and a nursery are located in anurban area.
Two energy-efficient single-family houses (known as ESPI houses) with competitive overallcosts were set up during the study in Finland.
Rooms with high windows are likely to have comfort problems caused by cold airdowndraught, which are usually solved by placing heating appliances underneath thewindows.
This study aims to introduce a methodology which enables to revise the limit values of overallheat transfer coefficient in accordance with the building form from thermal comfort andenergy conservation point of view.In order to prevent excess heat
Low temperature heating systems: impact on IAQ, thermal comfort and energy consumption. | 1999 | English
The Netherlands Agency for Energy and the Environment(NOVEM) is conducting a program for the implementation of Low Temperature Heating (LTH) systems in buildings. The primary goal is to enable the use of Low Talued Energy as a heating source.
Development of a demand control strategy in buildings using radon and carbon dioxide levels. | 1999 | English
Air change rates, indoor radon and carbon dioxide levels were monitored in a lecture theatre in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
