Volume content
A novel algorithm for demand-control of a single-room ventilation unit with a rotary heat exchanger | 2017 | English | 10 pp
Energy renovations seek to improve the airtightness of dwellings and thus require ventilation and heat recovery to maintain or improve energy-efficiency, indoor climate, and durability.
Experimental evidence of effective single sided natural ventilation beyond 20ft or 2.5 floor to ceiling heights in open plan office spaces | 2017 | English | 2 pp
Most natural ventilation (NV) systems used in non-residential buildings are single sided (SS).
A longitudinal field study of thermal comfort and air quality in naturally ventilated office buildings in UK | 2017 | English | 9 pp
Natural ventilation has the potential to provide cooling and fresh air and cut 40% of the total energy consumption of European office buildings.
The effect of refurbishment and trickle vents on airtightness: the case of a 1930s semi-detached house | 2017 | English
As UK homes are insulated and draught proofed in an attempt to reduce wintertime heating demand they become more airtight. Any reduction in infiltration could have a detrimental effect on indoor air quality.
The lack of indicators assessing ventilative cooling effectiveness in a way to compare it with active cooling technics, makes its acceptance more difficult.
