Split-system air conditioning is increasingly usedapplications, owing to its low cost and installationboth for residential and commercialease.
De Carli M, Peron F, Zecchin R
Surveys on repressurization-induced backdrafting and spillage were conducted in threedifferent areas of the United States using a common protocol, primarily to assess thecorrespondence between short-term tests and one week of continuous monitoring

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
The air quality in a subway-train was studied to suggest optimal design criteria and operationconditions based on the ventilation demand by passengers. The C02 emitted from thepassengers was the tracer for this study.

In a cold climate such as of Montreal the air infiltration through the exterior envelope of a house has a significant impact on the heating energy consumption and cost.
Zmeureanu R
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.
Duanmu L, Ao Y, Feng G
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.
Aygun M
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.
Gunnarsen L, Sakr W, Haghighat F, von Grunau M
The improvement of air quality due to self-restricted air consumption in regions as well as globally appears to have considerable promise.
Bitkolov N
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.
Barbat M, Richalet V, Guarracino G
Two energy-efficient single-family houses (known as ESPI houses) with competitive overallcosts were set up during the study in Finland.
Saari M, Laine J
Rooms with high windows are likely to have comfort problems caused by cold airdowndraught, which are usually solved by placing heating appliances underneath thewindows.
Ruegg T, Dorer V, Steinemann U
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
