Numerical Study of Airborne Particle Transport in an Operating Room

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling of particle transport has been applied for the control of airborne particles in the operating zone above the surgery table in an operating room. Based on the numerical results, it has been found that the particle source location, air (supply) inlet design, operating table location, and lamp design are among the critical parameters responsible for the particle distribution within the operating room.

Measurements of Hybrid Ventilation Performance in an Office Building

This paper focuses on hybrid ventilation performance in an office building. It presents measurement results from the new headquarters of the company Bang & Olufsen, which served as one of the case study buildings in IEA ECBCS Annex 35. Ventilation and control strategy, as well as operational experience of the hybrid ventilation system is presented. Measurement results include long-term values of temperatures, CO2 and energy use for assisting fans and heating of ventilation air as well as electricity use for appliances.
