Effectiveness of Ventilative Cooling Strategies in Hot and Dry and Temperate Climates of India | 2017 | English | 10 pp
There are three common methods used to analyse Indoor Air Quality in buildings: in-site measurements, laboratory measurements, or the simulation of indoor spaces using a validated computational model.
The harsh Norwegian climate requires buildings designed according to high standards. The airtightness of the building envelope is crucial to attain an energy efficient building and to avoid moisture problems.
On the design and testing of Airtightness Modifier dedicated to the TIPEE IEQ House | 2017 | English | 9 pp
This paper aims to present the elaboration of a device able to modify the airtightness of a test House. This project has been conducted with three Master student groups in the framework of their research projects from 2015 to 2017.
A New Approach to Estimating Carbon Dioxide Generation Rates from Building Occupants | 2017 | English | 7 pp
Indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations have been used in the fields of building ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) for decades.
It is estimated that HVAC systems represent the highest energy consumption (approximately half of the total energy consumed) and one of the highest cost, especially in non-residential buildings.
