The Presentations at the 43rd AIVC - 11th TightVent - 9th venticool Conference: "Ventilation, IEQ and health in sustainable buildings" held in Copenhagen, Denmark on 4-5 October 2023.
Calculation of the effect of ventilation measures in existing dwellings to reduce the carbon footprint | 2023 | English | 8 pp
To reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment, a significant overhaul of the existing housing stock is essential.
Decoding 30 Years of Insights: Conclusions from ISIAQ's Landmark Webinar Series on Indoor Air Quality and Climate | 2023 | English | 1 pp
In celebration of its 30th Anniversary in 2022, the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ) organized a groundbreaking webinar series that spanned the entire year.
Financial impact of leaky ductwork in buildings – a calculation tool to raise awareness | 2023 | English | 10 pp
In the context of energy saving, new buildings are becoming more airtight and purpose-provided, often central mechanical ventilation is required to create and sustain a healthy indoor air quality (IAQ).
The Impact of Deep Energy Renovations on Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation in Irish Dwellings | 2023 | English | 6 pp
Achieving energy-efficient dwellings has become a vital part of the global climate action plan to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions. Deep energy retrofits (DER) can help reduce residential energy use significantly.
The measurement of particulate matter (PM) in rooms has gained interest in the last decade.
In the residential sector, there are several indoor sources of pollutants related to activities such as cooking, cleaning and heating, besides those from occupants, building materials, finishing and furniture.
On-Site Capture Efficiency of Kitchen Range Hood Based on Particle Diameters and Exhaust Flow Rates | 2023 | English | 10 pp
Particles generated from cooking activities are the biggest contributor to the concentration of indoor particles in most homes, and they are not easily removed without natural or mechanical ventilation.
The impact of increased occupancy on particulate matter concentrations in mechanically-ventilated residential buildings in a subtropical climate | 2023 | English | 10 pp
Indoor air pollution can pose a serious threat to human health and can increase the risk of early mortality.
How the COVID Pandemic and the Energy Crisis Have Influenced Indoor Environmental Conditions in non-residential Buildings | 2023 | English | 10 pp
Building energy behaviour and indoor environmental conditions have been changing due to different external events that have been taking place at global level from 2020, from the COVID pandemic (2020-2022) to the energy crisis (mainly from the war
Rethinking different ventilation strategies in a post-pandemic era: a CFD assessment | 2023 | English | 8 pp
The world has experienced the devastating nature of airborne transmitted diseases through the COVID-19 pandemic.
The offer of air cleaners has increased significantly since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, it is not clear to what extent they can contribute to indoor air quality.
Evaluating the Impact of Air Cleaning and Ventilation of Airborne Pathogens and Human Bio-effluents at Two Primary Schools in Belgium | 2023 | English | 9 pp
The COVID-19 pandemic increased the awareness and importance of infectious pathogens as contaminant in the indoor air, especially for non-residential buildings with a high occupational density like schools.
Coughing is one of the most important respiratory activities for air transmitted pathogens. It is essential to understand the dispersion of exhaled particles when coughing to improve the prevention measure and reduce the cross-infection risk.
Can the Wells-Riley model universally assess airborne pathogen infection risk? | 2023 | English | 9 pp
Some airborne pathogens can infect susceptible people over long distances in buildings when they are transported in small respiratory particles suspended in the air.
On June 24, 2023, ASHRAE approved the publication of Standard 241-2023 Control of Infectious Aerosols.
Accounting for inter- and intra-personal differences requires individual and cohort comfort models. For their development, emulators for thermal sensation of occupants are needed.
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and energy performance evaluation of PECS | 2023 | English | 2 pp
Most current environmental control systems installed in buildings aim to create a uniform IEQ, disregarding the large interpersonal and intrapersonal variability in occupants’ thermal, visual, acoustics & air quality requirements.
Personalized Environmental Control Systems (PECS) have advantages of controlling the localized environment at occupants’ workstation by their preference instead of conditioning an entire room.
