LoginOutdoor air pollution can have a bearing on the effectiveness of indoor air and the quality of ventilation. There is a pressing need to reflect on the potential type and effect of occurrences (e.g.

Analysis of the influence of topography on climatic exposure of buildings (Climatological Data). | 1988 | English
This text contains comments to the poster presented at the 9th AlVC Conference in Gent, Belgium.
The use of a guarded zone pressurization technique to measure air flow permeabilities of a multizone building. | 1988 | English
In the past few years, research efforts have been made to acquire accurate knowledge about infiltration and ventilation in multi-zone buildings.
Development of an efficient control algorithm for a multizone constant concentration tracer gas air infiltration measurement system. | 1988 | English
A constant concentration tracer gas (CCTG) measuring system needs a control algorithm to calculate, at each sampling time, the required tracer gas injection rate to keep the gas concentration at a target level.
In the framework of a project of the International Energy Agency (IEA) , IEA-Annex XVIII - Demand Controlled Ventilating (DCV) Systems, which started in fall 1987, a review of the state of the art of already existing DCV systems and devices has be
An experimental study in reduced scale model for ventilation inside a sheep-fold has been studied.
Indoor formaldyhyde levels in energy efficient homes with mechnical ventilation systems. | 1988 | English
Mechanical ventilation systems have been adopted in airtight energy- efficient houses in Canada to provide fresh air, remove moisture and indoor pollutants and provide a comfortable environment for the home-occupants.
The technique of tracer gas measurement has during recent years tended towards increasingly complicated measuring methods.
Further studies of passive ventilation systems - assessment of design and performance criteria. | 1988 | English
Increases in building air tightness for purposes of energy saving have, unfortunately, also led to a significant increase in the number of instances of condensation damage, particularly in domestic properties.
The ventilation of a test room (LxWxH = 5.4x3.6x2.4 m) with a wall mounted heat source is investigated for two different air terminal devices.
Air leakage through the building envelope is of great importance for the energy use of a building. However, from an indoor air quality standpoint, the size of interior leaks in e.g. multifamily buildings could be important as e.g.
Tracer gas techniques for measuring airflow rates in building systems are considered.
Examinations about the air humidity in lived dwellings depending on different air ventilation systems using a new characteristic value. | 1988 | English
This work deals with problems of the air humidity in inhabited dwellings. A new approach is presented here which renders the definite diagnosis of humidity problems possible.
Traditionally air has been supplied from the ceiling to the occupants below opposing the buoyancy effects due to heat convected from people, lights and machines.
This paper describes a two-dimensional numerical study, by finite-volume method of buoyancy-driven flow in a half-scale model of a stairwell.
Ventilation produced by fluctuating pressure differences across a building appears to have received little attention . Such fluctuations are produced by gustiness of the wind or turbulence in the flow around a building.
The influence of a controlled natural ventilation on the indoor radon decay products concentration: a case study. | 1988 | English
Air exchange rates in occupied buildings are difficult to assess due to their dependence on a multitude of climatic parameters and inhabitant behaviour.
The project is aimed to develop the quantitative method of visualization of the air steams in application to the indoor problems of heauilg , ventilating and air conditioning.
Numerical simulation of indoor turbulent air flows caused by cross-ventilation and its model experiments. | 1988 | English
Since thermal comfort on human body is influenced by the local air flow speed, it is needed to estimate the distribution of air flow speed in a room for the "effective ventilation".
The paper presents the development of a ventilation scheme for a large bus station and passenger interchange in Bilbao, Spain.
