This paper presents the estimation of air infiltration in a building using the COMIS multi-zone model. The applicability of this information in the design of buildings is demonstrated and the effect of air infiltration in the thermal performance of buildings is investigated. An integrated method incorporating both air infiltration estimation and building thermal simulation is proposed.
This paper describes the modelling and the experimental validation under ALLAN™ Simulation software 3 of a dwelling subjected to actual indoor and outdoor conditions. The construction of the global model is made in two steps:
This paper deals with the problem of exhaust cross-contamination between vehicles in a slow-moving traffic queue, as would be found in a busy modern city. This study has been undertaken using an open-jet wind tunnel, to determine the level of exhaust contamination around a 1:10 scale model car under various prevailing wind conditions. Tracer-gas techniques have been combined with static pressure measurements, to model the flow of pollutants around a vehicle body.
