Nocturnal natural ventilation for low and zero energy office buildings in Central Chile | 2009 | English
Calculation of the primary energy consumption of a supply and exhaust ventilation system with heat recovery in comparison to a demand-based (moisture-controlled) exhaust ventilation system | 2009 | English
Due to the increase in CO2 emissions and the resulting climate change more and more efforts aremade to reduce energy consumption.
It is well known that appropriate ventilation represents one of the prerequisites for achieving goodindoor comfort, and we try to ensure a continuous and sufficient intake of fresh air into a building.
On the way to the solution of our energy-problems, the conditioning of buildings is the most importantsector.
From Single Buildings to Communities and Cities - Energy Efficiency in the Course of Time | 2009 | English
For quite a long time energy conservation and energy efficiency were concentrated on a singlebuilding approach.
Development of setting methods to control outdoor ventilation airflow rate in office buildings | 2009 | English
Ventilation is essential for the health and comfort of building occupants. It is particularly required todilute and/or remove pollutants emitted by occupants' metabolism and activities.
Ventilation Strategy for Civil Buildings in Response to Stricter Standards of Energy Conservation and Indoor-Air-Quality Issue in China | 2009 | English
China has been undergoing fast urbanization during the last three decades.
Energy Efficiency of Advanced Ventilation Techniques in Non-Residential Buildings and Their Barriers | 2009 | English
Air renovation inside buildings is crucial to have productive workers, since the lack of good indoor conditions affects human activity and promotes diseases (Fisk, 2000).
