TN 32: Reporting guidelines for the measurement of airflows and related factors in buildings | 1991 | English | 148 pp
One of the aims of the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre is to encourage the collection and dissemination of air infiltration and airflow data as well as energy use data arising from programmes of research and experimental investigation.
TN 31: 1990 Survey of Current Research into Air Infiltration and Related Air Quality Problems in Buildings | 1990 | English | 199 pp
The COMIS workshop (Conjunction of Multlzone Infiltration Specialists) was a Joint research effort to develop a multlzone Infiltration model.
The main objective of this report was to provide an introduction to the subject of contaminant removal effectiveness. Existing literature in this subject area is limited, and tends to be very difficult for a newcomer to understand.
The main objective of this report was to provide a concise introduction into the subject of air change efficiency.
TN 27: Infiltration and Leakage Paths In Single Family Houses - A Multizone Infiltration Case Study | 1990 | English | 71 pp
This document describes preliminary work towards validating models that predict airflow rates between several zones.
TN 26: Minimum Ventilation Rates and Measures for Controlling Indoor Air Quality IEA Annex IX | 1989 | English | 51 pp
From a viewpoint of energy conservation air infiltration and ventilation have to be minimised.
TN 25: A subject analysis of the AIVC's bibliographic database - AIRBASE (6th edition) | 1989 | English | 222 pp
This report presents a subject analysis of the entire database and is intended as a reference manual for users wishing to obtain information on a particular topic.
Workshop held at Køge, Denmark in March 1988.
TN 23: Inhabitant Behaviour with Respect to Ventilation - A Summary Report of IEA Annex VIII | 1988 | English | 78 pp
This forms a summary of the IEA ECBCS Annex VIII study into the behaviour of occupants with regard to ventilation.
TN 21: A Review and Bibliography of Ventilation Effectiveness - Definitions, Measurements, Design and Calculation | 1987 | English | 58 pp
