The methodology for inspecting the ventilation system and on-site measurements for office buildings has been proposed under the project “Development of thermal diagnostics of buildings”. The inspections of the ventilation system in two office buildings were conducted. The design documentations were compared with the existing state of the installations. The measurements of the air flow volume, of the temperature of ventilation air and of the volume flow of the heating medium and its temperature

The paper describes the issue of ventilation and air quality in buildings with reference to regular tightening of heating standards. The purpose of the work is to show the risks related to excessive insulation of buildings, which is thought to have a negative influence on users’ well-being and health. The development of issues related to thermal comfort has often led to erroneous solutions. As a result, problems such as “Sick Building Syndrome” and “Building Related Illness” has developed in

In this paper, a heating and ventilation model VVS-400 from Instrutek, Larvik, Norway is modeled using ARX model structure and linear black-box technique. The conventional PID controller and artificial Fuzzy controller are designed based on the approximated plant model and real plant model. The approximated plant model is estimated using System Identification approach while the real plant model is developed by interfacing the Real-time Windows Target toolbox in Matlab with real VVS-plant by

INTRODUCTION
New devices emerging on the market such as small ventilation equipment contribute to the need for research on their compliance with manufacturers’ data. They are new, poorly known and still not very popular. However, they have great potential to ventilate single rooms. Moreover, they are compact and inexpensive. One of them is single room decentralized heat recovery unit, commonly called compact recuperator, which can be installed in almost every building in the external

The influence of ventilation on the development of fire is widely known. Without the air, the fire will stop developing and maybe even extinguishing of the fire takes place. A sudden supply of a large amount of air, for example, by opening the door or falling out of the windows, may cause a re-igniting of a fading fire. Under certain conditions, it can even create a backdraught, a very dangerous phenomenon for people’s lives. The influence of ventilation on the fire development

INTRODUCTION
Every day people spend a lot of time in public transport, for example buses, trams, trains or subways. To make their journey comfortable, appropriate thermal conditions must be provided by HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) systems. Thermal comfort is achieved when passengers perceive the air temperature, humidity, air movement, and

introduction of heterogeneous windows of varying degrees of thermal resistance and air tightness make it difficult to correctly assess the heat demand by calculation methods. In residential buildings, especially built more than 15 years ago, natural ventilation is usually used.
In [4] there is included a procedure for determining the required heat source power based on a long-term measurement that includes determining seasonal heat consumption and determining the heat gains and loss of the temperature

. One of the latest inventions in this direction is roofing tiles made with integrated photo-voltaic cells at the beginning of 2000s, an invention more recently continued by Tesla, Inc. Of course, the biggest savings and profits are made in large consumer establishments, such as public and office buildings or industrial plants. These objects are supported by their sheer size. Their pillars have a large cross section, so they can install natural ventilation ducts, wind catchers, as well as rainwater

The paper analyzes the possibility of using the energy signature method based on the linear regression to determine the seasonal energy demand for cooling and ventilation in the office building. The “extended” energy signature method (H-m method) was described and applied. In accordance with Standard (EN 15603) the estimation of energy consumption for cooling can be performed for a period shorter than the entire season, but data range must be appropriate to obtain the correct accuracy of the

numerical model of the atrium was the same as the real atrium described by Gutierrez-Montes [21]. In the model, the natural ventilation was designed. There are four square exhaust vents on the roof, each of the dimensions of 0.5 m. There are also four open vents at the lower parts of the walls. Two on the wall A and two on the wall C. Each vent has dimensions of 4.75×2.25 m. The model with its dimensions is shown in Fig. 1.

For example, the work of Alonso et al.

The importance of phenomena occurring in arrangements known as street canyons, namely the spaces between two parallel lengthened buildings, the typical street layouts in cities, has been emphasised in the experiments.

The patient remained hypoxemic with unstable oxygen saturations over the following 7 days, during which time she required 60 to 100 percent oxygen administered by face mask. Intravenous methylprednisolone (200 mgs) was given for 5 days. Mechanical ventilation was not required. The lung infiltrates gradually cleared over 3 to 4 days and the patient showed clinical improvement after 1 week

Limiting the width or height of the opening to minimize the sizing of mall ventilation system is an irresponsible approach, as the small openings generate much larger smoke growth factor (Mb/Mo) than large ones. The popular value of 2.00 of this factor should be applied only for large openings, and numerical

Both viruses are zoonotic and require at least two “host jumps” for the transmission of the infection to humans: for HCoV-SARS – from bat to palm civet and then to human; for HCoV-MERS – from bats to camels and subsequently to humans. Primary mode of transmission is droplet in close contact (< 1 m), but both viruses remain active in aerosol (up to 24 h), so infection can be also spread by air (ventilation). The
