Performance Analysis of the Maximal Used Extract Ventilation Capacity of Dwellings During the Heating Season | 2023 | English | 9 pp
The design heat load of buildings is composed of maximal heat losses via ventilation, infiltration and transmission. Ventilation control possibilities can have an impact on these maximal simultaneous ventilation losses.
Numerical Evaluations of a Multiple 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry System for Indoor Air Flow Study | 2023 | English | 6 pp
High-quality data obtained from three-dimensional Particle Tracking Velocimetry (3D PTV) is pivotal for indoor environment engineering when designing ventilation strategies or monitoring airborne pollutants dispersion in inhabit
Effect of Design Parameters on Indoor Temperature Distribution in Impinging Jet Ventilated Room | 2023 | English | 8 pp
In many countries, the mixing ventilation system (hereinafter referred to as MV) is the most common and widely used system in office buildings for decades, even after the development of the displacement ventilation system (herei
It is no longer sustainable to look at the performance of buildings in isolation of people that use them. This paper examines what is involved in assessing how a building performs for people.
