A number of tests of the Memorial Fire Ventilation Test Program were devoted to determining the effectiveness of a full-transverse ventilation system in limiting the spread of smoke and hot gases, with varying system configurations and airflow rates. The controlled fire, located at the approximate quarter point of the 2,800 ft (854 m) Jong tunnel was varied in three levels of intensity: 10, 20, and 50 megawatts (MW).
This study examines technical issues of residential forced-air space conditioning systems incorporating heating, ventilation and cooling in the context of increasingly energy efficient new housing. Current technologies and practices are reviewed and analyzed with a view to improvements. Potential existing and emerging technologies and strategies are examined. A comparison of conventional and improved design strategies are presented for a house with a 5 kW heating load.
