Experimentation of Hybrid Ventilation in Carnegie Mellon University's Intelligent Workplace, Pittsburgh, PA | 2009 | English
Use of compact balanced single-room ventilation units with heat recovery in existing dwellings | 2009 | English
Renovation of existing buildings, in order to reduce energy consumption, represents a big market inEurope.
Since the 2002/91/CE EPBD was published, all European countries should making efforts in harmonizing local standards, imposing the assessment of building energy and environmental impact through a common certification procedure.
Studying influence of airtightness on heating loads by coupling simplified simulation and multizone airflow model | 2009 | English
In order to respond to global warming and natural resources depletion challenges, industrials from the building sector need to propose an adequate offer. Energy simulation tools can support this process.
The emission from materials is an important source of degradation of our indoor air quality.
Analysis of Dispersion and Prediction of Infection Possibility according to Airborne Viral Contaminants: Tracer gas simulation | 2009 | English
The aim of this study is to analyse the physical characteristics of airborne virus, consider thepossibility of using coupled analysis model and tracer gas for analysing virus diffusion in buildingspace and, based on reports of how the infection sp
Energy Efficiency of Advanced Ventilation Techniques in Non-Residential Buildings and Their Barriers | 2009 | English
Air renovation inside buildings is crucial to have productive workers, since the lack of good indoor conditions affects human activity and promotes diseases (Fisk, 2000).
Ventilation Strategy for Civil Buildings in Response to Stricter Standards of Energy Conservation and Indoor-Air-Quality Issue in China | 2009 | English
China has been undergoing fast urbanization during the last three decades.
