Indoor air quality and control methods for mechanical ventilation systems inside large passive objects

Ventilation and Air Quality in Indoor Ice Skating Arenas

There are thousands of indoor ice rink arenas in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The combustion byproducts from the fuel powered ice resurfacing equipment impose a potential health risk to both athletes and spectators. A field survey of ten ice rink arenas in Greater Boston and Halifax, Nova Scotia indicates that the fuel type used by the resurfacer as well as the air exchange rate, the ...

Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality in New Homes

Building Regulations in England and Wales require that there is adequate provision for ventilation in new homes and guidance on meeting the requirement is primarily based on the need to control moisture. The guidance was last amended in 1995 and as part of the preparation for a further review BRE undertook a study of ventilation and indoor air quality in homes in England built since 1995. The m...

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring and Control

Review of research on air-conditioning systems and indoor air quality control for human health

With the improvement of standard of living, air-conditioning has widely been applied. However, health problems associated with air-conditioning systems and indoor air quality appear more frequently. In this paper, recent research is reviewed on air-conditioning systems and indoor air quality control for human health. The problems in the existing research are summarized. A further study is sugge...

Measured Air Distribution Effectiveness for Residential Mechanical Ventilation Systems

The purpose of ventilation is dilute or remove indoor contaminants that an occupant is exposed to. In a multi-zone environment such as a house, there will be different dilution rates and different source strengths in every zone. Most US homes have central HVAC systems, which tend to mix the air thus the indoor conditions between zones. Different types of ventilation systems will provide differe...
