Volume content
Automated window opening control system to address thermal discomfort risk in energy renovated dwellings. Summertime assessment | 2017 | English | 2 pp
Comparing extracting and recirculating residential kitchen range hoods for the use in high energy efficient housing | 2017 | English | 10 pp
Residential cooking can be a significant indoor source of odour, pollutants and particulate matter. Conventionally, range hoods expel the air into the ambient. A number of studies have investigated their contaminant capture performance.
A Case Study assessing the impact of Shading Systems combined with Night-Time Ventilation strategies on Overheating within a Residential Property | 2017 | English | 12 pp
Overheating in domestic homes, specifically in built up urban areas, has become a pressing problem throughout the UK.
Effect of human walking on air curtain sealing in the doorway of an airtight building | 2017 | English | 7 pp
Heat and mass flow between cold and warm environments due to the pressure difference between both sides. This exchange causes a loss of energy and human comfort in the buildings.
Full-scale experimental study of ceiling turbulent air jets in mechanically ventilated rooms | 2017 | English | 9 pp
Experimental investigation of ceiling circular grille air jets was conducted in a full-scale entirely controlled test room (6.2 x 3.1 x 2.5 m).
Characterising the actual performance of domestic mechanical ventilation and heat recovery systems | 2017 | English | 10 pp
This paper describes the findings and recommendations of a meta-study examining the actual in-use performance of whole-house mechanical ventilation heat recovery systems (MVHR) installed in 54 low energy dwellings in the UK, as part of a national
