Volume content
1st AIC Conference: Air infiltration instrumentation and measuring techniques (Book of Proceedings) | 1980 | English
Problems and consequences of the pressurization test for the air leakage of houses. | 1980 | English
Briefly describes method for pressure testing a house. Discusses problems and limitations of method. Discusses results of 130 (de)pressurization tests carried out in dwellings in the Netherlands.
Describes the development of an anemometer for the measurement of rapidly fluctuating air flows. Describes the B.R.E. shielded hot wire anemometer.
An automated air infiltration measurement system for large buildings isdescribed. The system consists of a micro-computer, electron capture gaschromatograph, a ten port sampling manifold, and five tracer gas injectionunits.
Proposes a method of linking pressurization measurements in buildings with infiltration rates. The method is based on a simple theoretical model.
Presents a survey of tracer gas techniques for measuring air infiltration and includes a theoretical derivation of the equations, a description of each method, and a short description of the experimental procedure.
Correlating pressurization and infiltration rate data - tests of an heuristic model. | 1980 | English
There is a need for correlating results of pressurization tests with infiltration tests, making it possible to predict the infiltration rate of a building on the basis of a pressurization test. Discusses problems with calculation models
Reviews the source and nature of pollutants occurring in indoor air.
Automatic measurements of air change rates (decay method) in a small residential building without any forced air-heating system. | 1980 | English
Describes an automatic measurement system for air infiltration and discusses factors influencing the measurements in single rooms or in a group of connected rooms.
Describes a method for determining the leakage of an entire building. Each room is pressurized in turn and the leakages of individual rooms are summed to find the total leakage of the building.
Presents a technique using fan pressurization results and weather data to calculate infiltration.
Development of a dynamic pressure anemometer for measuring the air leakage of buildings. | 1980 | English
Describes a dynamic pressure anemometer which belongs to the group of pressure-tube anemometers (pitot-static tubes) and is intended for measurement of one velocity component in a three dimensional flow field at air velocities of 0.1 to 10 m/s.
Reviews experimental techniques for determining the infiltration characteristics of buildings. Discusses the use of wind tunnel models to determine surface pressure distributions and ventilation rates.
