Blue Pages: Ventilation

Welcome to the 'Blue Pages'. This is where the Editorial Advisory Panel for Building Services Engineering Research and Technology publishes state-of-the-art articles on developments in building services engineering practice and research. The articles are very short, on one theme of current interest, and are edited by a guest editor rather than going through the longer refereeing process for conventional research papers. This is to encourage consultants and contractors to discuss their latest developments in a non-commercial manner. Academics will also be asked to outline current research areas in universities and colleges. Without the constraint of full refereeing there is scope in the articles to provoke interest and to raise issues for discussion. Consequently the Editor of BSER&T is happy to receive and publish letters furthering the discussion of 'Blue Pages' articles. If you have a suggestion for an article or topic you would like to see included in the 'Blue Pages' please inform the Editor, Barry Copping. Comments on the 'Blue Pages' are also welcome. 'Blue Pages' will only succeed if readers of the journal wish the feature to succeed and contribute to its success.
