چکیده
In this paper, an integrated model that coupled CONTAM and WUFI was developed to assess the indoor air quality (IAQ), moisture, thermal comfort performance. The coupling method of is described based on exchange airflow rate control variables as infiltration, natural mechanical ventilation parameters between heat moisture flow balance equations in contaminant balances CONTAM. To evaluate predictions compared single models WUFI, four scenarios were used. These are airtight-fan off, on, leaky-fan defined for a three-story house subjected three different climate conditions Montreal, Vancouver, Miami. measures simulated CO2, PM2.5, VOCs obtained by CONTAM; relative humidity (RH), predicted percentage dissatisfied (PPD), mean vote (PMV) WUFI; those separately all Finally, optimal selected. results with (?28.88% 46.39%) from models. This due inability correct variables.

This case study investigates the effects of ventilation intervention on measured and perceived indoor air quality (IAQ) in a repaired school where occupants reported IAQ problems. Occupants' symptoms were suspected to be related to the impurities leaked indoors through the building envelope. The study's aim was to determine whether a positive pressure of 5-7 Pa prevents the infiltration of harm...

This paper presents results of over 34,000 survey responses to air quality and thermal comfort questions in 215 buildings in US, Canada, and Finland. Results show that 80% or more of the occupants expressed satisfaction with their thermal comfort in only 11% of the buildings surveyed. Air quality scores were somewhat higher, with 26% of buildings having 80% or occupant satisfaction. With respec...
متن کاملIndoor Air Quality
The issues of indoor air quality are complex and can be directly influenced by a number of system and building parameters. There are no universal solutions for every problem since there are numerous potential contaminant sources. They may originate from indoors and have a direct impact on indoor environmental quality, or they may originate from outdoors and be transferred by a mechanical or nat...
