Building services create customised, user-oriented and controlled conditions for thevarious activities taking place on real estatesand related premises.This paper presents an outlool< of buildingservices trends in Finland.
Paiho, S.; Ahlqvist, T.; Lehtinen, E.
Development of a unique measuring unit for airflow volume within the vertical shaft of naturalventilation system with solar chimney with theresults of laboratory test and on-sitemeasurement is presented.
Shinada, Y.; Kimura, K.I.
A sample of existing double-skin faqade (DSF)buildings distributed across Europe were analysedby means of data clustering.
Matos de, M.; Duarte, R.
A numerical simulation is used to evaluate theefficiency of a multi-layer rack composed ofphase change material (PCM) sheets each. Thebuilding, object of this study, is actually underconstruction in Lyon and will be monitored.
Kuznik, F.; Virgone, J.
Recently, a law securing 0.7ACH ventilationrates was enacted in South Korea. As aconsequence, various ventilators have beeninstalled in apartments.
Heo, J.; Choi, C.; Kim, S.; Lee, Y.
International building legislation is setting stronger and stronger requirements for the energy performance of buildings. The most recent example is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive in the European Union.
Erhorn, H.; Erhorn-Kluttig, H.; Carrie, R.
There is an obvious and indisputable need for anincrease in the efficiency of energy utilization inbuildings.
Schmidt, D.; Shukuya, M.
The case study of a nursery school of Bologna isa pilot example of how hybrid ventilationsystems can be embedded in architecturallysignificant buildings.

The purpose of this paper is to proposestrategies of reducing energy consumption forcooling in residences under hot and humidclimate such as Indonesia.
Uno, T.; Hokoi, S.; Ekasiwi, S.N.N.
It is often pointed out that when evaluating the energy-saving performance of equipment, it isimportant to take into consideration how theequipment under consideration is actually used.In evaluating heat transfer by contact duringfloor heating, it

The hybrid air-conditioning system is consistsof natural ventilation and mechanicalair-conditioning system in this paper.
Lim, E.; Sagara, K.; Yamanaka, T.; Kotani, H.;
This paper deals with pressurization usingHVAC systems on each floor as acountermeasure against stack effect generated inthe winter in high-rise office buildings that donot use revolving doors at the entrance.
Takemasa, Y.; Katoh, M.; Owada, J.; Aikawa T.; Suzuki, Y.
Buildings take a great share on the total energyconsumption and C02 emissions in Portugal.Poorly thought buildings pollute the urbanspace, and contribute to the increasing buildingssector energy demand.

As the technology in building materialsadvances, the room air pollution caused bychemical compounds, and also by preservativesand insecticides for termite control, has becomea serious problem.
Honma,Y.; Osawa, H.; Kuwasawa, Y; Suzuki, H.
The aim of this study is to examine contaminantdistribution in the occupied zone of a room servedby a novel enhanced displacement ventilationsystem which brings cooler air near the floorupward around human body via 4 fans mounted ateach corner of
Sun, W.; Melikov, A.K.; Cheong, K.W.D.
The concentration in the convection flows ofresuspended particles from the floor area wasexperimentally investigated under laboratoryconditions with different ventilation strategies.It was concluded that the number of smallparticles transported in
Mundt, E.
In building design the requirements for energyconsumption for ventilation, heating and coolingand the requirements for increasingly betterindoor climate are two opposing factors.This paper presents the schematic layout andsimulation results of an
Hviid, C.A.; Svendsen, S.
The use of floor heating has been know sincemore than 3000 years from the Chinese Kang,the Korean Ondol, the Romans hypocaust to daysmodern water based systems embedded in thefloor construction.
Olesen, B.W.
In this paper we analyze by means ofbuilding simulation the effect of differentparameter combinations on the non-heating andnon-cooling temperatures of a typical airconditionedoffice building.
