Ventilation systems to minimize food odor spreading in high rise residentialbuildings | 2007 | English
A food odor spread is one of the air quality problems in high rise residential buildings in Korea. The food odor is mainly produced during the cooking of food. The food odor is generated in the limited spaces like in the kitchenand at a table.
Study of a new photocatalytic air cleaner applied to the management of the microbiologicalindoor air quality | 2007 | English
The objective of this research consists of studying the effectiveness of devices used in the microbiological purification of the air. This specifically involves the inactivationof biological aerosols in an air handling unit.
Solar shading and ventilation patterns: to what extent are they accurate to comfort expectations? | 2007 | English
In temperate continental climates, the reduction of the solar radiation influence in summer season, over the comfort conditions of internal spaces, can only be achieved by natural means in two ways: one possibility is through occupants adjustments
In order to overcome the increasing energy demand in buildings and related environmental problems, new efficientenergy technologies and new integrated building concepts, like solar passive and mixed-weighted thermalmass buildings, are being develo
Floor cooling and air-cooling, the effects on thermal comfort of different cooling systems | 2007 | English
One of the research areas of the Energy research Centreof the Netherlands (ECN) concerns the built environment.Several facilities to conduct research activitiesare at ECNs disposal.
In Korea, all residential buildings adopt floor- heating systems for indoor thermal comfort. And the ratio of multi-family houses exceeds 50%.
Air quality in indoor swimming pools: associations with air distribution, water treatment, aerosols and airway symptoms | 2007 | English
Adverse health effects have been reported in indoor swimming pools.
More than 8.000 homes have been built to the Passivhausstandard in central Europe. The success of Passivhaus is due in large measure to it being a well defined product, understood by the developer, architect and future owner.
Supervisory control of an intelligent building in Greece using EIB – KONNEX technology for energy performance improvement | 2007 | English
The paper describes the design and control methods for many aspects of energy consumption in a building,mainly lighting and heating / cooling, using the EIB / KONNEX technology.
Thermal effect of orientation differentiations in a university building in Izmir, Turkey | 2007 | English
This paper evaluates current situation of the university building which is considered oriented in the wrong direction,in the campus area of Izmir Institute of Technologyin Izmir, Turkey.
The performance of natural, mechanical and hybrid ventilation systems was monitored, using the tracer gas decay method, in three typical apartment buildings locatedin two street canyons, during summer period 2002 in Athens.
Combining cooled soil and natural night ventilation to achieve moderate tempered houses in Andalusia, Spain | 2007 | English
In summer 2007 a housing project will be build, reachablewithin 20 minutes by car from Granada. It contains33 single family houses , 21 apartements and 40 dwelling units social housing.
Automated living and working environment is becominga commonly used service. The present paper deals with a dynamically automated control of shading in buildings during mid-seasons.
Sustainable recommendations for the faculty of technology of the University of Brasilia - Brazil | 2007 | English
The present paper describes the beginning of a sustainablerequalification program devised for some buildingsof the University of Brasilia, located in the city of Brasilia (latitude 15o south).
Wind speed characteristics in the centre of a city differthan the ones in its suburban. Street canyon effects result in weak airflows in the centre of highly dense citiesbecause of the combination of inertia and gravitationalforces.
