The purpose of this study is to determine how levels of ventilation rates and indoor air quality vary in elementary schools in southern Japan. This study is based on field monitoring carried out as intermittent monitoring from summer to winter.
Iwashita G.
The potential for passive cooling of roof slabs incorporating an air cavity is important with respect tothermal comfort.
Borg R.P.
This paper presents results of an evaluation of workplace occupant satisfaction in 16 state ofthe art office buildings of a variety of sizes and energy concepts in Germany.

Being the largest energy consumer, building sector represents a major stake for the actualenvironmental concerns.
Moujalled B., Cantin R., Guarracino G.
Dynamic analysis is very useful to obtain thermal properties of building components.
Jiménez M. J. , Heras M. R.
In cold and moderate climates, improvements in building shell insulation and air-tightness imply a shiftin heating loads from transmission and infiltration towards ventilation.
Sakulpipatsin P.,Boelman E.C., Cauberg J.J.M.
Responsive Building Elements (RBE), as defined in International Energy Agency - Annex 44,are building construction components which are actively used for transfer and storage ofheat, light, water and air.
Perino M.
In the first phase of the current project, the ventilation rates of occupied houses in the northern region of Japan were investigated from 2001 to 2005.
Takaki R., Yoshino H., Mihara K. , Maatouk K.
In this paper, a model for predicting whole building heat and moisture transfer was presented. Both heat and moisture transfer in the building envelope and indoor air were simultaneously considered; their interactions were modeled.

The process of implementation of the EPBD in Austria is now carried out for several years.
Streicher W., Eiper T.
Sustainable architecture design for tropical climates requires the use of natural ventilation besideseveral strategies, as appropriated materials, site location, faade orientation, solar shading, etc.
Bastos L.E.G., Barroso-Krause C., Beck L.
Detailed mathematical models of VAV equipment and subsystems have been developed and used tocompose larger DCV systems with a large degree of detail.
Sørensen B.R.
This study aims at investigating the actual conditions of indoor environment in schools in order toobtain fundamental information for proper ventilation design of buildings.
Yoshino H., Mihara K., Takizawa N., Kurabuchi T., Muramatsu S., Kumagai K., Noguchi M., Yanagisawa Y.
The EPBD prescribes an energy performance certificate for buildings.
Schmidt F., Kopetzky R.
For the conservation of an important museum collection in a historic building a better controlled indoor climate may be necessary. One of the most important factors is controlling relative humidity.
Neuhaus E., Schellen H.
The design of ventilation equipment is important because it affects the ventilation performancedirectly. To improve the ventilation efficiency of the displacement ventilation, a new ventilation system was proposed in this study.
