The Airtightness Quality Management Approach in France – Assessment after more than Five Years of Operation | 2014 | English
Investigating Instantaneous Wind-Driven Infiltration Rates using the CO2 Concentration Decay Method | 2014 | English
Carbon dioxide has already been recognized as a potential tracer gas for estimating the mean air exchange rates of a room or building.
Overview of the UK Residential Ventilation Market and Initiatives to Improve the Quality of the Installed Systems | 2014 | English
New homes currently being built within the UK all incorporate some type of ventilation system, the majority of which are of the fixed mechanical fan type.
Experimental Investigation on the Flow Characteristics of an Exhaust Hood Assisted by a Jet | 2014 | English
An air curtain generated by a jet is used to enhance an exhaust hood’s capture ability in many research studies on local ventilation systems.
Natural Ventilation Potential in Portuguese Residential Buildings under Winter Conditions – An Opportunity for Hybrid Ventilation | 2014 | English
This paper presents a study of the potential for the use of natural ventilation systems in Portuguese multi-family residential buildings under winter climatic conditions.
An Overview of Unsteady Analysis Techniques for Natural Wind Turbulence and its Effects on Natural Ventilation | 2014 | English
Focusing on the turbulence in natural ventilation and its impact on both occupant thermal comfort and building energy consumption, this paper presents a review of existing unsteady natural ventilation envelope flow models, as well as other techniq
As a novel air distribution system, diffuse ceiling ventilation combines the suspended acoustic ceiling with ventilation supply.
Methods of manipulating building envelope wind pressure distributions for application in the natural ventilation of high-rise buildings are presented using computer simulation methods.
Uncertainties in Air Exchange using Continuous-Injection, Long-Term Sampling Tracer-Gas Methods | 2014 | English
The PerFluorocarbon Tracer (PFT) method is a low-cost approach commonly used for measuring air exchange in buildings using tracer gases. It is a specific application of the more general Continuous-Injection, Long-Term Sampling (CILTS) method.
Building Ventilation Strategies to Protect Public Health during Chemical Emergencies | 2014 | English
Releases of airborne chemicals can rapidly affect wide areas, leading to exposures that may adversely affect public health.
