The relationships between indoor environment and health, well being and ability to acquire knowledge are unquestionable. These are the reasons why in many countries a high level of indoor environment is required in school buildings.
Sowa J
A field measurement study of the airtightness of 73 - less than 5 year old - French dwellingswas led between 1999 and 2000.

Designers, professionals and practitioners are currently making evaluations and sizing ventilation systems and apparatus in Italy on the basis of the Italian standard UNI 10339.
Joppolo C, Giorgiantoni G
An investigation of the performance of a recently built estate of over 50 low-energy rental dwellings indicated that there was a slight but significant increase in electricity use of the “super low energy” designs over the control “low energy” des

The New Zealand Building Code has kept with tradition in allowing residential building ventilationdesigns based entirely on openable window areas.
Bassett M R
This paper investigates passive displacement flows in a simple, two-compartment building that comprises a single storey connected to an atrium.
Holford J M, Hunt G R
Ventilation systems should contribute to good indoor air quality conditions and should be energy efficient.
Wouters P, Vandaele L
The target in this study was to decrease the energy use for transportation of air (fanenergy) with a factor of three.

In natural ventilation systems, fresh air is often provided through opening of windows, andthere is a wide range of possibilities with regard to selection of window type and position inthe facade.
Bjorn E, Jensen J, Larsen J, Nielsen P V, Heiselberg P
Measurements of ventilation rates and internal temperatures have been recorded in a naturallyventilated auditorium with high intermittent heat gains for a wide range of weather conditionsat a UK site.
Clancy E M
This paper presents a recent field measurement study undertaken in 1999 on 73 recent Frenchdwellings.
Guillot K, Litvak A, Kilberger M, Boze D
Ventilation needs in dwellings must be determined on the basis of both requirements to theindoor air quality and necessary control of moisture conditions.
Bergsoe N C
The estimate of actual air change rates considering atmospheric turbulence isintroduced. The starting point is the spectral description of turbulence - Kaimalspectrum was used in order to consider the height above ground.
Marques da Silva F, Saraiva J G
The move towards improving building air-tightness to save energy has increased theincidence of poor indoor air quality and associated problems, such as condensation onwindows, mould, rot and fungus on window frames.
Riffat S B, Gillott M C
In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and a variety of mixing models is used to evaluate the indoor air quality in a small single-family house.
Huang J, Chen Q
This paper outlines work in progress to develop dissemination material to assist the appropriate application of solar and passive ventilation in urban buildings.
