Coupling night ventilative and active cooling to reduce energy use in supermarkets with high refrigeration loads | 2017 | English | 10 pp
A “heat recovery hybrid ventilation system” is the combination of passive stack ventilation and mechanical push-pull ventilation. Two heat storage boxes are connected to the natural EA stack and the underfloor natural OA duct.
Development of protocol for sub-metering for ventilation models and verification for shopping centres | 2017 | English | 10 pp
Shopping centres are complex buildings with specific needs. The use that different areas are put to affects energy consumption, whereas the different functional patterns and stakeholder groups influence energy use.
About 1,000 ductwork airtightness measurements performed in new French buildings: database creation and first analyses | 2017 | English | 9 pp
In France, the current regulation on the energy performance of buildings (RT 2012) does not require ductwork airtightness measurement when the default-value is used in the regulatory EP-calculation.
Façade Improvements to Avoid Draught in Cold Climates – Laboratory Measurements | 2017 | English | 10 pp
With the goal of increasing building flexibility and reducing energy use, yet ensuring IAQ, the feasibility of natural ventilation in a building in Oslo is studied.
The impact of the quality of homes on indoor climate and health: an analysis of data from the EU-SILC database | 2017 | English | 7 pp
Today one out of six Europeans (84 million Europeans, or the equivalent of Germany’s population), report deficiencies regarding the building status. In some countries, that number is as high as one out of three.
