The case study of a nursery school of Bologna isa pilot example of how hybrid ventilationsystems can be embedded in architecturallysignificant buildings.
On the Relation Between the Energy and Social Characteristicsof the Residential Sector. | 2008 | English
Social, financial, energy and technical data from about 1 1 10 households have been collected during 2004 in the major Athens area. The sample has been divided in seven inconie groups and a detailed analysis has been performed.
Maintaining a good indoor air quality (forpeople and building conservation) is obviously thefirst aim of any ventilation system; neverthelessthe main side effect - which is also the mostvisible one - is to spend energy, for heating firstand for tr
Study on Airflow around Building Roof for Design of Natural Ventilationby Chimney-Part2 Wind Velocity Distribution above Building Roof- | 2008 | English
The purpose of this study is to clarify thecharacteristics of airflow around building roofand to provide the guidelines for design ofnatural ventilation by chimney.
Potential Influence of Moisture Sorption and Desorption of Walls on SpaceConditioning Load of Residential Buildings | 2008 | English
The hygrothermal performance of houses isrecently being required to indicatequantitatively due to the encouragement ofenergy conservation. Several calculationmethods are practically proposed to evaluateenergy saving measures of houses.
The evaluation of the effectiveness ofcogenerations in energy saving is dependent onthe profile of electricity demand and heatdemand as many experts know.
Solar Thermal and Electric Desiccant Cooling System,Part 2: Experimental Investigation and Evaluation | 2008 | English
The combined solar thermal and electricdesiccant cooling system is designed, fabricated,assembled and installed in the Laboratory ofBuilding Environmental Engineering of TohokuUniversity.
Determination of air permeability of buildings according to IS0 9972 orEN 13829 - Proposal for clarifications | 2008 | English
Building airtightness is an important parameter that canbe measured according to the International Standard IS09972 "Therm~~l performance of buildings -Determination of air permeability of buildings - Fanpressurization method".Since 2006, there is
Interzonal air movements are important tocharacterize overall ventilation perfosmance ofcomplicated multi-zone indoor spaces.
Measurements and smoke tests show that thequadrants of a Windcatcher with a positivepressure across them act as supply ducts, whilethose with a negative pressure across them actas exhaust ducts.
An integrated building concept is a prerequisiteto come to an energy efficient building with agood and healthy IAQ indoor comfort.
The Decision-making Process for Material and Ventilation Rate consideringIAQ and Cost in Apartment Buildings | 2008 | English
Indoor air concentration is mainly affected bythe emission rate of contaminants frommaterials and the ventilation rate. Therefore, theappropriate selection of materials andventilation rate is an important factor for indoorair quality.
To obtain thermal comfort in a moderateclimate, dwellings were traditionally providedwith a heating system, but few had coolingsystems.
Recently, dampness in buildings has beenindicated to be associated with occupants' healthdamages such as allergies. In particular mold inindoor air is considered to be a significant riskfactor of health.
Misawa Homes have developed a homeaiming a zero annual energy balance, definedas the energy consumption over production byusing solar energy, in 1997.
A Study of the Ventilation Performance for Automobile Indoor AirPollution Reduction | 2008 | English
In this study, we evaluated the ventilationperformance of an automobile interior with theaim of minimizing the influence of harmfulmaterials emitted from new cars.
Experimental Study on the Combined Effect of Outdoor Thermal-Environment and Ventilation Patterns on Indoor Thermal-EnvironmentControl for Summer | 2008 | English
If thermal insulation and solar control ofbuilding envelopes are appropriately made forindoor thermal environment control, then themoderate air current becomes relativelyeffective for thermal comfort especially inresidentional buildings in summer
Building performance can be expressed bydifferent indicators as primary energy use,environmental load andlor the indoorenvironmental quality and a building performancesimulation can provide the decision maker with aquantitative measure of the exte
Energy analysis of a personalized ventilation system in a cold climate: Influence of the supplied air temperature | 2008 | English
TII this study the influence of temperature of thesupplied air of a personalized ventilation systemon energy need has been investigated by meansof simulations with IDA-ICE software.
