Building envelope, duct leakage and HVAC system performance in HUD-code manufactured homes | 2003 | English
The peak electrical demand of office building VAV systems will be reduced by about 1.2 Kw/1000 Ft2 by employing an Integrated Systems Demand Control Technology (ISDCT) sequence to reduce peak intake flow by about 56%.Supply, return, and exhaust fa
During the last 20 years, the humidity sensitive ventilation system evolved to products increasingly simplified thus standardised.
In the 1990's, concern about global warming has resulted in a resurgence of interest in naturally ventilated offices. The Belgian climate is particularly well adapted to apply cooling by natural ventilation.
Increasing emphasis on energy-efficiency has many jurisdictions enacting stricter energy codes.
For energy savings, DCV systems are more and more used in ventilation systems but toestimate their energy savings, variation of occupation in the building (in time and number ofperson) must be estimated.
The building envelope is primarily an environmental separator, which allows indoor spaces to bemaintained at different conditions from the outside environment.
The knowledge of indoor air humidity in the design phase is important to decide on the appropriate moisture control measures to prevent moisture problems in building components.
In France, in non residential buildings, these systems are generally controlled by either a CO2 sensor or optical movement detection (infrared).The part of the study we present here was to determine :- laboratory tests methods to assess the perfor
In highly insulated residential buildings, complying with the Passive House Standard, the space heat demand can be covered by air heating at air flow rates given by air quality requirements, without the need for additional air re-circulation or fo
IEA ECBCS Annex 36 : retrofitting in educational buildings - REDUCE 25 case study reports from 10 different countries | 2003 | English
The IEA ECBCS Annex 36 deals with the energy retrofit of educational buildings.
An evaluation of natural ventilation and comfort of a multi-storey university office building | 2003 | English
Ventilation and comfort assessment of buildings is not a new practice in post occupancy evaluation (POE) of buildings.
Effective weather resistive barriers (WRB) perform important functions in retarding waterentry into walls and in controlling water vapor movement as well as the amount of energyattributed to air leakage (Burnett, 2000; Weston et al 2001).
The Norwegian Building Research Institute (NBI) has completed a study of the performance of balanced residential ventilation systems with heat recovery (HRVs) in Norway.
The use of natural ventilation systems continues to be a popular feature in low energy, sustainable building design.
Over the past decade, there has been extreme media attention to issues about mold and allegedlyadverse effects.
