Thirty-one independent fan pressurization measurement series were performed on seven apartments in three family housing buildings at Fort Riley, Kansas, using four protocols.
Depending on the demands regarding the size and location of the occupation zone and the need for outdoor air flow rates, different ventilation systems and air supply devices have to be used in different kinds of buildings.
Describes the main tasks of air conditioning, heat load from human bodies, humidity and comfort, influence of the humidity on refrigeration capacity and refrigeration systems for A/C.
Office workers continue to complain about air quality problems, and a significant industry has developed to measure pollutants and environmental conditions such as temperatures and humidity.
Three ventilation systems were installed in the EA Technology Ventilation Test House: passive stack ventilation (PSV), mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) and extract fans.
Quantification of radon migration from a uranium mine through the soil into buildings by the use of tracer techniques. | 1995 | English
This paper describes the results of a series of tracer gas tests performed in the mining community of Schlema in eastern Germany.
The Southampton survey on asthma and ventilation: humidity measurements during winter. | 1995 | English
As part of a collaborative trial on the effects of ventilation on house dust mites and asthma, 20 mechanical ventilation units were installed in houses in the Southampton area in southern England.
A study of the reliability of systems by considering the ability of different systems to maintain a required air flow rate over time is included in a subtask of IEA Annex 27 "Evaluation and Demonstration of Domestic Ventilation Systems".
Performance of natural ventilation in dwellings. A longitudinal computational simulation study. | 1995 | English
The paper presents the results of a simulation study performed by means of the COMIS multizone infiltration and ventilation model.
The effect of ventilation and pressure differences on concentrations of radon at workplaces. | 1995 | English
The workplaces located in southern (18 places) and central Finland. The total amount of workrooms measured was 87. The mean concentration of radon was 254 Bq/m3 (range from 12 to 1647 Bq/m3) during working hours.
A recent investigation into the thermal environment of tropical housing required a low cost method for the measurement of high ventilation rates.
