Nowadays it is rather common with demand controlled ventilation in public buildings and offices. The purpose of demand controlled ventilation is to adapt the ventilation to the varying needs of the occupations.

Improvement of a mechanical ventilation system regarding the utilization of outdoor air. | 1995 | English
A new ventilation strategy for humidity control in dwellings - a demonstration project. | 1995 | English
A demand controlled ventilation system with humidity as the control parameter was tested in an experimental demonstration project in 16 apartments.
Predicting indoor airflow by combining network approach, CFD and thermal insulation. | 1995 | English
This paper describes a method which aims to generate an overall view of multizone building air flow by integrating methods for bulk air flow analysis, air flow field analysis, and building thermal analysis.
The ventilation of an attic is critical in estimating heating and cooling loads for buildings because the air temperature in the attic is highly sensitive to ventilation rate.
Design and installation of passive stack ventilation in retrofitted apartment buildings. | 1995 | English
Almost 60% of French residential buildings were built before the seventies, and an important part of those is to be retrofitted for complying with new needs with regard to acoustic insulation and energy saving.
The design and development of two energy and environmentally sustainable prototype office buildings. | 1995 | English
The C-2000 program for advances commercial buildings is an awards program to assist in the development of energy efficient and sustainable building technologies and design in Canada.
The indoor air quality and the ventilation performance of four occupied residential buildings with dynamic insulation. | 1995 | English
Dynamic insulation has been used in non domestic buildings for 20- 30 years in order to reduce the heat loss and to bring preheated air into the buildings.
The Dutch E Novation Program: indoor air quality in dwellings before and after renovation. | 1995 | English
The Dutch E novation program is a national demonstration program in which dwellings with high energy consumption, moisture and mould problems and poor indoor air quality were renovated, with special attention to the selection of the heating and ve
Air flow measurements and simulations were made on a 13-story apartment building to characterize the ventilation rates for the individual apartments.
In this paper, we investigate the potential of an aerosol-based technique to significantly reduce the leakiness of residential air distribution systems (ADS).
A laboratory for investigation of the air quality in simulated indoor environments. | 1995 | English
A laboratory, designed to form the basis for research aiming at increasing the knowledge concerning the interactions between indoor pollution sources and the indoor environment, has been taken into operation.
Indoor climate and user interaction on modern Swedish one family houses - results using a questionnaire. | 1995 | English
Disadvantages and advantages with different heating and ventilation systems in modern housing have been discussed during many years in Sweden.
The combined use of CFD and zonal modelling techniques to aid the prediction and measurement of ventilation effectiveness parameters. | 1995 | English
In order that sampling points may be strategically located, it is desirable to have knowledge of the spatial variation of ventilation eflectiveness parameters prior to measuring them using tracer gas sampling techniques.
With effect from January 1st, 1995 the amended Heat Transfer Barrier Act (,,Warmeschutzverordnung ) was introduced in the Federal Republic of Germany, replacing the 1982 version.
For the planning of "silent cooling" systems built by free convective coolers, it is necessary to support characteristic data for the cooling performance and the effect of different installation and operating parameters on the cooling performance.
By means of a case study involving a severe case of coupled heat and sir flow in buildings, this paper aims to quantify the differences resulting from different methods (ping-pong and onion approach) for linking heat and air flow models.
A study was set up to compare the effectiveness of passive stack ventilators (PSV) with mechanical extract fans (MEF) in providing adequate ventilation in UK homes.
A breakthrough in ventilation research was made once it was realized that ventilation principles based on mixed flow patterns are not optimal and that further energy savings can be achieved if an alternative technique could be developed.
Approved Document (AD Part F1) of the Building Regulations [1] for England and Wales identifies trickle ventilators as an option for providing natural background ventilation in commercial buildings.
Experimental validation of Ashrae SPC-129 Standard method of measuring air change effectiveness . | 1995 | English
ASHRAE has developed a draft of a measurement standard, Standard 129, entitled "Standard Method of Measuring Air Cliange Effectiveness." This standard defines a method of measurement for measuring air change effectiveness in mechanically ventilate
