A study of panel ridges effect on heat transfer and pressure drop in a ventilation duct | 2017 | English | 10 pp
The effect of adjustable cooling jet on thermal comfort and perception in warm office environment – a laboratory study | 2017 | English | 7 pp
The aim was to study how the cooling jet from the ceiling, with individual control over the airflow, is perceived and how it affects the thermal comfort in warm office environment.
From EN 779 to ISO 16890: a new worldwide reference test method for general ventilation filters | 2017 | English | 6 pp
For testing of general ventilation filters, a completely new standard is now available and is going to replace EN 779 (2012) since the parts 1 to 4 of ISO 16890 (2017) have been adopted in August 2016 and published in 2017 at both international an
Mixed-mode ventilative cooling opportunity for an existing shopping mall retrofit | 2017 | English | 10 pp
Shopping centres currently design has included a small portion of automated windows sized for smoke ventilation. Their presence is mandatory for fire regulation and they are usually operated just in case of fire.
Natural Pressure Differential – Infiltration Through Wind Results of a Long-Term Measurement | 2017 | English | 12 pp
Wind pressure and thermal forces are driving forces for pressure difference on the building envelope.
Natural ventilation systems in Mediterranean schools. A prototype experience in Andalusia as an alternative to mechanical ventilation | 2017 | English | 12 pp
In high density occupation rooms, it is necessary to control indoor air quality (IAQ) combined with other comfort parameters. An adequate IAQ in classrooms enhances children learning and academic results are improved.
