A Study on the indoor air quality management effect of intelligent building certificationdrogram | 2007 | English
The management of indoor air quality is accomplished by various types of complex mechanisms related to indoorenvironment and recently, an integrated solution applying state of art technology is being presented pertainingto the management of indoor
The purpose of ventilation is to dilute indoor contaminantsthat an occupant is exposed to. In a multi-zone environment such as a house, there will be different dilutionrates and different source strengths in every zone.
The energy performance of glazed office buildings with double skin facades - BESTFACADE | 2007 | English
Many modern office buildings have highly glazed facades.Their energy efficiency and indoor climate is, however, being questioned.
This document aims to present the progress and the outcome of the research on double skin façades that is being carried out within the European ‘BESTFACADE’ project.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) obligates EU member states to develop a reliablemethodology capable of calculating and certifying the energy performance (EP) of their building stock.
