Investigation of future ventilation flow rate requirements for dwellings in Belgium: from the application of FprEN16798-1:2016 to proposed robust rules | 2017 | English | 10 pp
Ventilation systems play an important role in providing a good indoor air quality in dwellings. Mechanical exhaust ventilation systems implement natural vents to supply outdoor air to the dwelling. Natural driving forces, i.e.
The future of hybrid ventilation in office buildings – energy simulations and lifecycle cost | 2017 | English | 12 pp
This study presents a comparison of three ventilation systems; automated Natural Ventilation (NV), balanced Mechanical Ventilation (MV) with heat recovery and Hybrid Ventilation (HV) with heat recovery for a new build office building.
Hybrid ventilation in new and refurbished school buildings – the future of ventilation | 2017 | English | 12 pp
More than 64 million pupils spend more time in school than in any other place except home in Europe (European Commission, 2014).
Cool materials in the urban built environment to mitigate heat islands: potential consequences for building ventilation | 2017 | English | 10 pp
Urban warming, commonly referred to as the ‘Urban Heat Island’ phenomenon (UHI), is a well-established effect that affects cities all over the world.
Exposures to airborne fine particulate matter with a diameter of <2.5μm (PM2.5) are linked to multiple negative health effects, including cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
