6th AIC Conference: Ventilation strategies and measurement techniques (Book of Proceedings) | 1985 | English
Influence of open windows on the interzone air movement within a semi-detached dwelling. | 1985 | English
A multicell air flow computer program is used to determine the influence of 1) open windows and 2) closed internal doors on the ventilation rate of a semi-detached house.
A multi-tracer system for measuring ventilation rates and ventilation efficiencies in large mechanically-ventilated buildings. | 1985 | English
Measurement of air exchange rates, ages of air, and nominal and local ventilation efficiencies in large buildings is often complicated by the building size and compartmentalization, and by the presence of multiple ventilation systems.
Interpretation and error analysis of multi-tracer gas measurements to determine air movement in a house. | 1985 | English
Although infiltration of outside air across the envelope of a building has been considered of prime interest in relation to energy conservation and indoor air quality, it also important to understand the way in which air moves between zones within
This paper reports the findings from tests undertaken in an untight, two-storey, brick-built detached test house.
Inhabitants' behaviour with regard to ventilation. A report of the work of the Annex VIII. | 1985 | English
If the energy losses due to ventilation have obviously become an important problem since the energy crisis, there is still a lot to be done with respect to the behaviours.
A survey is given of the sitution in The Netherlands with regard to ventilation and infiltration.
This paper describes a series of ventilation measurements carried out in two small factory units situated on an industrial estate in Newport, South Wales.
Inhabitants behaviour with regard to ventilation: the use of windows. First heating season. | 1985 | English
As part of a programme to develop measurement methods for determining the ventilation rates of large buildings, we performed two series of tests in a single-celled laboratory with a volume of 600m3.
Basic material for the instruction of occupants of homes. How, when and where to use your windows. | 1985 | English
Airtightness measurements were carried out in ten typical Dutch dwelling complexes. In each complex four homes were measured. The IMG calculation model was used to calculate expected ventilation for these dwellings.
Based on current concerns regarding indoor air quality and energy use, there is a need for in situ techniques for evaluating buildings' infiltration and ventilation characteristics. The U.S.
For more than two years a series of detailed air infiltration measurements have been conducted over the complete yearly weather cycle on two identical side-by-side test houses in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA.
Mechanical ventilation system requirements and measured results for homes constructed under the R-2000 super energy-efficient home program. | 1985 | English
The R-2000 Super Energy-Efficient Home Program is a cooperative industry/government initiative sponsored by Energy, Mines and Resources Canada (EMR) and delivered by the Canadian Home Builders Association.
Air infiltration flows into different zones of a building can be measured with the constant concentration technique by injecting a metered amount of tracer gas t o hold the concentration of the gas constant.
Natural ventilation rates in bedrooms at night have been measured in retrofitted apartments. The measurements indicate clearly that air quality in bedrooms may be unacceptable in dwellings with an energy-efficient minimal ventilation rate.
The increasing awareness that indoor air quality aspects may restrict energy conservation by infiltration and ventilation measures has led to extensive investigations of different ventilation strategies.
In this paper ventilation of attics and crawl-spaces is investigated theoretically. Ventilation rates and temperatures of the spaces are calculated by means of flow balance procedures.
Pacific Power and Light Company and Battelle PNW Laboratories have completed a project which investigated residential ventilation rates.
It is often stated that advanced ventilation or air conditioning is expensive or energy-wasting. There are, however, several examples of highly energy-efficient air conditioning systems in industrial, commercial and public buildings.
