Describes the French ACERMI Certification governing thermal insulation. It aims at setting competition between products according to objective bases on both a national and international level; making it possible for the users to select products easily and under optimal saving conditions; and ensuring them, without their having to check, that the product delivered to them has the characteristics expected.
At present, in France three quarters of new housing is fitted with a mechanically controlled ventilation system (MCV). In the last twenty years this type of ventilation system has progressed considerably, notably because of the help given by energy management policies in the housing sector
In the field of insulation techniques, technical advances are mainly due to an interactive approach resulting from three complementary factors: * National building standards and government supported incentive programmes which aim to increase the thermal efficiency of residential and commercial buildings. * Research and Development programmes set up by manufacturers in order to lead to new or improved insulation materials or components with increasing R-values. * New construction techniques used by designers and builders to reduce heat loss through building envelopes.
Considerable emphasis has been placed on energy consumption management in the residential sector in France over the last twenty years, and a regulation device defining requirements of a substantial level was setup at the end of the eighties.
Describes local energy planning projects in France, urban and land use planning, siting regulations structural effects on energy demand, for an energy conscious urban planning and promoting and better integration of land use, land development and energy supply planning, the ADEME AEU experience in the North of France.
Describes IEA Annex 23 on multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling, which is divided into three subtasks. The goal of subtask 1is to develop modules to be integrated in a multizone air flow modelling system, to store the physical kno
