LoginThis paper involves assessing radon concentrations at the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HV AC) environment of Hong Kong University of Science of Technology (HKUST).
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.
This paper reports on the experimental results using a standard room chamber to evaluate the impact of various parameters on indoor radon concentrations.
This paper describes the management of radon concentrations at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
The results from the Norwegian project "Indoor Environment in Schools" show a reduction from about 80 % to 55 % in complaints of poor indoor air quality just after renovation, and to 10 % after another year.
In a university building in Boston, IAQ complaints prompted an increase in outdoor air ventilation, causing a large increase in energy use. C02 readings were then taken in an auditorium, cafeteria, offices, and classrooms.
The purpose of the study was to assess actual ventilation, indoor air quality and also the quality of repairing process in the Finnish schools.
In March of 1996, a new Elementary School was occupied which is the first in the United States to utilize the concept of displacement ventilation as the primary means of providing both good indoor air quality and thermal comfort.
A research program was undertaken by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to investigate ventilation performance of different laboratory configurations and their effect on the laboratory hood.
Building factors associated with school indoor air quality problems: a perspective. | 1997 | English
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Health Hazard Evaluation Reports (lllIER) involving schools provide a perspective on the building-related factors associated with indoor air quality complaints.
Mechanical ventilation systems, designed to meet ASHRAE's Standard 62-1989 and to modify building pressures, were installed in two New Mexico elementary schools to reduce elevated levels of indoor radon, carbon dioxide, and airborne particles.
This study examines the use of energy recovery ventilators (ERV) in two schools located in a Southwestern arid climate as an energy-efficient means of providing acceptable ventilation to the classrooms and the corresponding effect on indoor air qu
This paper describes radon diagnostics and mitigation in a school the U.S.
In a room with a raised floor HV AC system (RF system), the vertical temperature gradient became an important factor in relation to the ventilation requ1rement to maintain a vertical temperature difference within a comfort standard such as ASHRAE
Thermal performance of the floor-supply displacement ventilation system was evaluated in a large climatic chamber designed to simulate a single span of an office building.
In some ventilation and dust removing system of workshop, a great deal of energy is wasted due to heated and cooled indoor air being exhausted directly.
Two series of formaldehyde concentration measurements were conducted on the first storey of a medium size, three-storey, naturally ventilated office building.
Full-scale experiments were made in a displacement ventilated room with two breathing thermal manikins to study the effect of movements and breathing on the vertical contaminant distribution, and on the personal exposure of occupants.
The purpose of the study was to measure the performance of natural ventilation in 5- and 9- storey apartment buildings, and to offer solutions for the improvement of ventilation.
