26th AIVC Conference "Ventilation in relation to the energy performance of buildings" (Book of Proceedings) | 2005 | English | 374 pp
The 26th AIVC Annual Conference took place in Belgium at the Hotel Husa President Park, located in Brussels.
The probabilistic model (PROMO) applied to the problem of air infiltration in low-rise buildings is presented. The PROMO model allows the estimation of the effect of variations of climaticconditions on air exchange in a building.
Indoor climate design for a monumental building with periodic high indoor moisture loads | 2005 | English
The paper presents a study of the indoor climate of a monumental building with periodic high indoor moisture loads. Several scenarios of the past performance and new control classes are simulated and evaluated.
This paper investigates the sensitivity of indoor humidity models to the numerical description of water vapour buffering in porous materials in the room.
The performance of three different ventilation systems in cold climate homes is discussed.
The hybrid ventilation systems have been widely used for livestock barns to provide optimum indoor climate by controlling the ventilation rate and air flow distribution within the ventilated building structure.
Studies on air circulation became of great importance in recent years, since are crucial for the energy consumption of buildings, for the pollutant dispersion within cities and for the good comfort conditions for the pedestrians and the habitants.
Numerical simulations of energy performance of a ventilation system controlled by relative humidity | 2005 | English
High levels of indoor relative humidity are one of the main causes of moisture damage in buildings. That cause can be removed by an appropriate ventilation system.
Use of the stairwell as a component of natural ventilation systems in residential buildings, comparison of technologies for the external envelope | 2005 | English
The design and realisation of natural ventilation systems is an important research topic into the ability of buildings to respond to climatic conditions, using parts of the buildings themselves as indoor microclimate control systems.
Comparative analysis of the energy impact of air infiltration for different ventilation systems | 2005 | English
This work presents simulations results exploring the influence of the building air-tightness on the energy consumption of buildings for different hypothesis on the type of ventilation system.
The paper gives an outline of existing modelling capabilities as well as an overview of current developments in integral modelling of hygrothermal conditions for whole buildings as presented within IEA Annex 41.
Performance evaluation of the hybrid ventilation system controlled by a pressure difference sensor | 2005 | English
A hybrid ventilation system controlled by a pressure difference sensor was installed on a detached test house.
In this paper the effects of atrium and other similar architectural design features (e.g. shafts) on ventilation efficiency are examined in a multi-storey office building.
Industry-wide methods of assessing duct leakage are based on duct pressurization tests, and focus on highpressure ducts.
Development of design guidelines for tertiary sector buildings equipped with natural ventilation systems | 2005 | English
This study considers the link between tertiary buildings design and equipments known as natural and hybrid ventilation or cooling.
At the conceptual design stage, one needs to pay considerable attention to both the energy as well as indoor air quality (IAQ) requirements.
Study on energy conservation effect of hybrid ventilation system utilizing wind pressure for multi-family buildings | 2005 | English
According to the R&D Project on Low Energy Housing with Validated Efficiency, the CO2 emissions due to operation of ventilation systems are estimated to be 7 to 12% of total CO2 emissions of a unit of multi-family buildings in mild climate reg
In these last years, a great deal of interest has been devoted to double-skin façades due to the advantages claimed by this technology (in terms of energy saving in the cold season, high-tech image, protection from external noise and wind loads).
Airtightness field measurement study of 123 new french dwellings with a simplified measuring device | 2005 | English
Studies on buildings’ airtightness have shown that several issues can arise from uncontrolled airflow leakages in buildings (e.g., higher energy cost, thermal comfort and health of occupants, building components and equipment preservation).
