Validation of models to predict the thermal and ventilation performance of horse stables

Badly designed stables may affect the animals' health, but it is difficult to design a stable with acceptable ventilation rates and indoor comfort without the right tools or guidelines.For the design of animal housing facilities, the authors used the passive building simulation tool QUICK II, extended with a natural ventilation model, and an animal heat generation model.

Heat recovery systems

Describes the two main systems used for ventilation heat recovery : static air-to-air plate heat exchangers, air to air rotary wheel heat exchangers. Indicates briefly their main characteristics.

Cleaning of ventilation and air conditioning plants : the European standard ENV 12097

The aim of the study was to evaluate the technical and financial impact of the ENV 12097 requirements and to compare them with the “state of the art” in France. The comparison has been carried out on the basis of a case study consisting in a three-floor o

Ashrae's residential ventilation standard : exegesis of proposed standard 62.2.

In June 2001 ASHRAE's Standard Project Committee on "Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings", SPC 62.2P, recommended and the Board of Directors approved ASHRAE's second complete standard on residential ventilation for public review; this was followed by public reviews of independent substantive changes in 2002 . The standard is an attempt by the Society to address concerns over indoor air quality in dwellings and to set minimum requirements that would allow for indoor air quality and energy efficiency measures to be evaluated.

"Clean ventilation" - A Finnish project towards cleaner ventilation systems

The aim of this document is to outline and summarize the principles to be followed when the aim isto produce and to install a clean air handling system. A large Finnish research and developmentproject CLEAN VENTILATION has focused on to find the main reasons and phases where theodours and other harmful pollution from the ventilation system originate. In the project bettertechnical solutions have been developed to produce cleaner components with less harmfulemissions.

Decoupling outdoor air and space thermal control

The article presents the advantages of decoupling the outdoor ventilation air cooling and dehumidification from the space cooling and dehumidification. These dual-path systems (one air handling unit for outdoor air with total energy recovery, another air handling unit for the recirculation air, and a single air supply delivery system) are used in all-air variable air volume system designs. They can be combined with CO2-based demand controlled ventilation, which offers superior control and cost savings.

Market opportunities for advanced ventilation technology

The document consists in the Proceedings of the 2001 AIVC conference, which took place in in September 2001 in Bath (England). It contains 42 articles corresponding to the speeches given during the Conference.

Ventilation and indoor air quality in buildings

The document consists in the Proceedings of the 1999 AIVC conference, which took place in in August 1999 in Edinburgh (Scotland). It contains 141 articles corresponding to the speeches given during the Conference.

Pressure Drop in and Noise Radiation from Rectangular and Round Ducts - Literature Survey -

In this paper, a literature survey on rectangular and round ventilation ducts is presented. The comparison is based on two important aspects: pressure drop and noise radiation. The pressure losses in the ductwork should be kept as low as possible without jeopardizing proper control of the flow rates in the system. Pressure loss through a rectangular duct is significant higher than a volumetrically equal round one. The higher the aspect ratio, the higher-pressure loss in the rectangular system.

Development of a passive flux sampler (PFS)

The mitigation to reduce indoor pollutant concentration are increasing ventilation rate or to reduce the emission of the pollutant which is also common in VOCs. Households, furnitures, building materials and so are well known as the source of indoor VOCs. There are several devices to measure emission of VOCs, such as an emission chamber or FLEC, which are adopted in ISO 16000. However these 2 methods has each disadvantages e.g. the chamber is suitable only in a fixed condition such as a laboratory, or the necessity of a pump and humidifer.
