Evaluation of thermal comfort impact of direct fresh air supply in Winter. Part 2: comparison of different ways of air supply to exhaust only ventilation. | 1997 | English
IEA Annex 27 "Evaluation and Demonstration of Domestic Ventilation Systems" has been engaged in developing the evaluation tools for various aspects of their performance.
Stack ventilation and cooling for urban sites - research project funded under the UK "Partners in Technology Programme". | 1997 | English
The paper outlines the value of roof intake air ducts to serve largely passively ventilatedand cooled buildings in urban areas.
Controlling ventilation and space depressurization in restaurants in hot and humid climates. | 1997 | English
Testing was performed in 9 restaurants to identify uncontrolled air flows and pressureimbalances, building and duct system airtightness, building air barrier location, pressuredifferentials, building air flow balance, and ventilation rates.
Costs are one of the main decision factors for the selection of domestic ventilation systems.This often leads to a ventilation system that just meets the requirements of buildingregulations at the lowest initial costs.
Evaporative cooling is an interesting alternative to conventional compressor refigerationsystems for air-conditioning.
Solar control devices placed in front of large building openings disturb air flow and theradiation transfer.
The work discussed here concerns the conditions of comfort obtained in a room cooled by a fan coil in relation to the form of air flow obtained. It is based both on practical experiment and on numerical simulation using CFD code.
A study of window location and furniture layout to maximise the cooling effect for an urban Taiwanese apartment by night ventilation. | 1997 | English
The year-round climate of Taiwan is warm and humid. Apart from the hottest months in summer, there are four months suitable for nocturnal ventilation to acquire indoor cooling.
Design of low energy office buildings combining mechanical ventilation for IAQ control and night time ventilation for thermal comfort. | 1997 | English
The design of low-energy office buildings requires specific attention to an energy efficient concept for providing good indoor air quality conditions.
The main source of humidity in office buildings is the human occupant. Moisture is therefore a result of heat transmission from the person to the room air.
