In buildings with high heat gains from people, like classrooms, conference rooms or gyms, during estimation of the CO2 concentration it is strongly recommended to take into account changes of indoor air temperature. The article presents a mathematical model of the phenomena of heat transport in a room that includes heat transfer between the analysed room and surroundings, air exchange within the confines of natural ventilation and infiltration, heat gains from people and solar gains. The numerical solution draws upon an analogy between the mathematical description of the non-stationary fields of temperature and electrical potentials. A simulation of the indoor temperature changes was applied to the carbon dioxide concentration model formulated by Krawczyk, Rodero, Gładyszewska-Fiedoruk and Gajewski and a T-CO2 model was developed. Presented methodology and delivered application allows to estimate CO2 level changes in rooms in significantly more precise way than setting temperature at constant level.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"1 1","pages":"127 - 140"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89684053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper studies the operation of a DOAS intended to remove the ventilation air and space latent load in different Spanish climates during the summer season. The model developed in TRNSYS was validated with experimental data using the root mean standard error (RMSE). Maximum RMSE of 0.94 °C and 0.472 g/kg were obtained for the temperatures and humidity ratios of the process and regeneration airflows. The RMSE for the compressor power input was of 52.2 W. The results obtained with the developed model showed that the DOAS exhibited better performance in humid climates with moderate temperatures (Bilbao and Barcelona). It was also found that its application in dry climates (Madrid) was not appropriate, and that a high outdoor temperature lowered the DOAS efficiency when comparing cities with similar latent loads (Bilbao and Sevilla) or when comparing residential and commercial schedules.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"1 1","pages":"111 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89759488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tests were performed in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel on a 1:15 scale model to evaluate the accuracy of CFD simulation in different design configurations of sheds roof. The analysis showed that CFD simulations are generally in good agreement with the wind tunnel tests. The difference between the most of the monitored points in the two tools used had errors below 10%. Besides this, the results show that changes in alignment of the sheds and increasing the distance between them decrease and increase the internal airflow to the leeward and windward sheds roof, respectively. In the first case it is due to the reduction in the sheds openings area.

In total 44 interviews were performed. The results provide a valuable snapshot of current practices and insights into potential barriers and challenges regarding installation of mechanical ventilation in low-energy residences to maintain high indoor air quality (IAQ). The results show that mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is becoming a common choice in new low energy residences in Europe. However, there are countries that apply airing or other types of ventilation such as mechanical exhaust or natural ventilation due to tradition, national legislation, climatic conditions and/or cost reasons. Demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) is often allowed or even recommended in standards, but rarely implemented in practice, except for exhaust-only humidity-based DCV in France and Belgium. The main barriers against mechanical ventilation seem to be high capital cost, space requirements and duct routing. The respondents commonly reported problems resulting from poor construction, lack of commissioning and/or maintenance. The main needs to be identified in the survey were more legislative pushes including more flexibility in legislation, a coordinated approach to energy efficiency and IAQ, and control mechanisms to ensure good implementation and operation.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"1 1","pages":"83 - 102"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87558280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FDS 6.1.1 (Fire Dynamic Simulator) software has been employed to perform numerical simulations. The results showed noticeable effects of platform architecture on the process of smoke evacuation and emission spreading. The location of the connecting stairs (station accesses) between floors in both types of subway stations, installing the walls around these stairs in island platform type, the presence or absence of fireproof and antismoke curtains in suitable areas in two side platforms type have significant impacts on the smoke spreading. At the end, after the comparison between smoke dispersion in these two types of subway's platform, different architecture corrections were suggested and evaluated. Overall, it is concluded that an island platform station is more challenging in smoke control point of view, because the openings at the ceiling of the platform (stairway path) provide a convenient space for smoke to escape to the upper floors. In summary station architecture and even the smallest architectural changes at a subway station can change the smoke dispersion in space.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"35 1","pages":"65 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81406461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surgical smoke will not only obstruct the operator's visibility, but also release toxic and harmful substances into the air, which will make the operator a headache and cause inflammation of the eyes and mucous membranes. In order to evaluate whether the existing operating room ventilation system can give priority to control the diffusion of surgical smoke, it is necessary to understand the generation, release, transmission and elimination performance of surgical smoke. This paper studied the rule of the influence of surgical smoke in different areas of the operating room through experiments, and verified by the three-area heterogeneous model. At a static state, the cleanliness level of the operating area and the surrounding area is ISO4 and ISO6. When there is staff activity, the operating room is in a dynamic state, and the operating area and the surrounding area are ISO7. When there is surgical smoke, the cleanliness level of the operating area is reduced to ISO8, and the surrounding area has little influence. This indicates that personnel activities and surgical smoke in the operating room have a great impact on the operating room environment.","PeriodicalId":55613,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ventilation","volume":"6 1","pages":"50 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79617966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fresh air in the downhill tunnel can be transfer into the uphill tunnel to dilute air in the uphill tunnel. Field measurements were performed in the Dabieshan tunnel on wind speed, CO concentration, and VI (visibility index) concentration.
