Lessons learned from design and operation of ventilation systems in low-energy dwellings in the UK | 2019 | English | 3 pp
This report reviews the activities of the AIVC during its first twenty years of operation. It identifies key projects and addresses them in the context of research activities and associated issues of the time.
The modelling of air flows to investigate indoor air quality and energy issues has been a topic at the AIVC for all of its 40 years.
The Role of Carbon Dioxide in Ventilation and IAQ Evaluation: 40 years of AIVC | 2019 | English | 4 pp
The purpose of this summary is to review Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre activities, as reflected in its publications, related to indoor carbon dioxide over the 40 years that have transpired since its creation.
This extended summary is a part of a more extensive summary (technote to be published) that compiles a number of AIVC publications that deal with ventilation and health in relation to moisture in air, and the development over time.
Japan is characterized by high humidity in summer and low humidity in winter. Therefore, summer is in a climatic condition where mold is easy to grow, and in fact, mold damage is occurring.
Due to the increasingly stringent energy efficiency requirements, timber frame houses are becoming more and more popular across Europe.
A smart ventilation system is generally equipped with a range of sensors. The data – or data derived from it - collected by these sensors can be used by both building owners, occupants and managers.
ByggaF is a methodology for including moisture safety in the construction process that was developed and presented in 2007.
Analysis of the Effects of Ventilation Method on Indoor Humidity Distribution and Condensation by CFD method | 2019 | English | 8 pp
People spend 70% -90% of their time indoors. Indoor air quality and human body’s health have a close relationship. With the advance of society, user comfort requirements for thermal environment are rising.
A demonstration house was previously built and commissioned in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada.
Long-term performance and resiliency testing of a dual core energy recovery ventilation system for the Arctic | 2019 | English | 10 pp
The Arctic environment is challenging for housing ventilation and heating systems. Energy consumption and demand for space heating for northern remote community residential buildings are very high.
Experimental investigation of frost formation on air to air counter flow heat exchanger in air handling unit and climatic influence on dry, wet, frost operation condition | 2019 | English | 9 pp
The work presented in this paper investigates frosting problem on high efficient air to air counter flow heat exchanger. The presented investigation consists of two main activities.
Efficiency of heat recovery ventilation in real conditions: feedback from several measurement campaigns | 2019 | English | 13 pp
Heat recovery ventilation (HRV) is one of the usual techniques (next to demand controlled) to reduce the energy impact of ventilation in buildings.
Impact of ductwork leakage on the fan energy use and sound production of central mechanical ventilation units in houses | 2019 | English | 9 pp
Various studies demonstrate a significant impact of ductwork leakage on the fan power consumption of ventilation systems.
