LoginThe study of the particle pollution in an office under two different ventilation modes is presented in this paper.
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
The aim of that study was to pinpoint indoor environmental variables necessary for providing an assessment of the condition of indoor environment in homes .
The aim of the European project HOPE (Health Optimisation Protocol for Energy-efficient buildings) is to demonstrate the energy-efficient buildings can be healthy and comfortable too for their occupants.
Results of 3 years of measurements in the chemistry department building of the university of Athens are summed up in this paper. Levels of CO, CO2, SO2, NO2, Cl2, HCHO, O3 and TVOC werre measured in laboratories, classrooms and offices.
Application of computational fluid dynamics in building design : aspects and trends | 2006 | English
The roles of CFD in building design are presented in this paper such as designing a thermally comfortable, healthy and energy-efficient building. The developing trends in applying CFD to building design are analyzed by reviewing the literature.
The ventilation system of an operating theatre in an hospital minimises the risk of airborne infection.
To investigate the effect of the headroom on de displacement ventilation (DV) system, a numerical simulation applying a validated CFD model was used. The simulation and comparison of two different headroom heights in a space was carried out.
The installation of upper-room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) devices in ventilated rooms can reduce the transmission of infections by an airborne route.
That study proposes an Express Assessment Protocol (EAP) to quantify IAQ problems by assessing the "dominant" contributors to unacceptable IAQ.
A subjective study is reported in that paper concerning a field environmental chamber (FEC) equipped with a displacement ventilation system (DV).
In order to study the impact of the outdoor air on the indoor environment, suspended particulate matter were simultaneously sampled indoors and outdoors of a typical residential house in the Al-suwayq area.
For that study CFD models have been developed to simulate the transport of infectious droplets and bioaerosols in a hospital ward. Those models will help for the design and control of a local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system.
The modified T-method can be applied to the prediction of the flow distribution in multi-fan duct systems.
For that study, numerical simulations along with full-scale laboratory experiments have been carried out to investigate the influence of the porous screens on the temperature fields, flow fields and ventilation rates within the kitchen.The air ex
A new concept, called Integrated Accessibility of Contaminant Source (IACS), has been proposed to consider simultaneously the positioning of a contaminant source, the distribution of occupants along with the overall airflow pattern.
This paper studies particle diffusion of a wide range of particle sizes compared with the diffusion of passive contaminant under the same conditions.
The evaluation of a quantitative method for culturing particles on HVAC filters is the aim of this research.
Do multiple solutions of natural ventilation exist in complex buildings and what are the physical mechanisms that can lead to a such existence ?
Stacks can enhance the natural ventilation of buildings. They can drive ventilation in floors where there is little heat load.
The most recent initiative taken by the Hong Kong SAR government to improve IAQ in various facilities is fan IAQ certification scheme for offices and public places.
