Mechanical ventilation system requirements and measured results for homes constructed under the R-2000 super energy-efficient home program. | 1985 | English
Air infiltration flows into different zones of a building can be measured with the constant concentration technique by injecting a metered amount of tracer gas t o hold the concentration of the gas constant.
Natural ventilation rates in bedrooms at night have been measured in retrofitted apartments. The measurements indicate clearly that air quality in bedrooms may be unacceptable in dwellings with an energy-efficient minimal ventilation rate.
The increasing awareness that indoor air quality aspects may restrict energy conservation by infiltration and ventilation measures has led to extensive investigations of different ventilation strategies.
In this paper ventilation of attics and crawl-spaces is investigated theoretically. Ventilation rates and temperatures of the spaces are calculated by means of flow balance procedures.
Pacific Power and Light Company and Battelle PNW Laboratories have completed a project which investigated residential ventilation rates.
It is often stated that advanced ventilation or air conditioning is expensive or energy-wasting. There are, however, several examples of highly energy-efficient air conditioning systems in industrial, commercial and public buildings.
Reviews the papers on air infiltration and ventilation research presented at the ASHRAE annual meeting held in Honolulu, Hawaii, in June 1985.
The multiple tracer gas technique developed at UMIST has been applied to the measurement of roof-space ventilation rates and house to roof-space air movement, for various types and combinations of roof-space ventilation.
This paper discusses the indoor formaldehyde levels in two groups of houses.
The various meanings of ventilation efficiency are briefly summarised.
The effects of operating unvented appl i ances and opening windows on indoor pollutant levels and air exchange rates are being studied under the sponsorship of the Gas Research Institute.
Exploration of ventilation strategies in domestic housing. Theory and experimental results. | 1985 | English
The performance of whole-house mechanical ventilation systems was explored in an full-scale indoor test house (volume 176 m³ ) .
