This study examines the potential for using passive ventilation systems to meet ASHRAE 62.2requirements as a step in the process for optimizing hybrid ventilation systems.
Annamaria Buonomano, Max Sherman
The French regulation on residential building ventilation relies on an overall and continuous airrenewal. The fresh air should enter the building through the habitable rooms while the polluted air isextracted in the service rooms.
Juslin Koffi, Francis Allard, Jean-Jacques Akoua
Differences might arise between the design and the real load of ventilation systems during operation.Consequently, the fresh air demand usually varies over a wide range.

The office building belonging to the Remscheider Entsorgungsbetriebe REB (Waste DisposalUnit in Remscheid), which was constructed in 1968, was thoroughly renovated in 2004.
Peter Engelmann, Karsten Voss
Even when providing the same nominal rate of outdoor air (OA), different ventilation systems distribute air in different ways, affecting the occupants differently depending on the dwelling, on source disposition and strength, on occupants behavior
T. Petithuguenin, M. H. Sherman
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct05) requires that federal building energy-efficiency performance standards be revised.
Alexander Zhivov, David Bailey, Dale Herron, Don Dittus, Michael Deru, Colin Genge
The paper is devoted to the analysis of possibility for construction of low energy buildings withenvelopes controlled for minimization of energy consumption by air conditioning systems.
Anatolijs Borodinecs, Baiba Gaujena
In most Dutch classrooms draught results in insufficient ventilation and poor air quality during the heating season, adversely affecting the well being and performance of pupils.
P. Jacobs, B. Knoll
The influence of ventilation on the energy performance of a building is generally considered to be quite high. It rises clearly, when a building contains large-volume spaces.
Anna Staudt, Hans Erhorn, Heike Erhorn-Kluttig
A questionnaire presented to designers demonstrates the difficulty to explain the specific status, thestratification and the correlation of parameters, features, concepts, principles and requirements.
S. De Bruycker
In schools the temperature of the indoor air is one of the most important factors in terms of the indoorclimate.
Birgitta Nordquist
The current rate of consumption across Europe is leading to environmental problems. We need toreduce our impact to nature - our ecological footprint - by two thirds to achieve a sustainable andglobally equitable level.
W. Zeiler, J. Van Deursen
The paper presents the results and analysis of the energy consumption of a newly designed office building in relation to quality of the indoor environment.
J. Ferdyn-Grygierek, A. Baranowski
The dependence of the ventilation on the indoor particulate pollution is highlighted by numerousstudies.
Margarita N. Assimakopoulos, Christos H. Halios, Mat Santamouris, Dafni Sfihtelli, Stathis Chrisafis
The indoor air quality is a very important issue and it generally depends on the airtightness of theshell, the ventilation rates, the deposition and the resuspension rates of the particles and the internalsources as well.The whole experimental pro

One of the topics studied in the European IEE-ASIEPI project (www.asiepi.eu) is the way envelopeairtightness is dealt with in the EPB-regulations of the Member States.
F.-R. Carrié, A. Tilmans, D. Van Orshoven, P. D'Herdt, C. Mees, P. Wouters, G. Guyot, M.E. Spiekman
The vortex ventilation system (VV) which uses a rotating finned swirler installed coaxially with the exhaust duct is a very effective local ventilator.
J.W. Lee, Y.B. Lim
The legal background for the assessment of the energy performance of buildings and energycertificates in Germany will be changed in October 2009.
Simon Wössner, Jan de Boer and Hans Erhorn
International building legislation is setting stronger and stronger requirements for the energy performance of buildings.
Heike Erhorn-Kluttig, Hans Erhorn, Hicham Lahmidi, Ren Anderson
In 2005 the first Energy Efficiency Plan for South Africa was developed by the Department of Mineralsand Energy. This plan sets the target for energy efficiency improvements of 12% until 2015.
Johannes Schrade, Simon Wössner and Hans Erhorn
