Indoor Moisture Control of Auckland Houses with Different Ventilation Systems
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Auckland has a temperate climate with comfortable warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Auckland house design not only focus on winter thermal performance and indoor thermal condition, but also indoor moisture control, which is closely related to indirect health effects such as dust mites, fungi, etc. Most Auckland houses are designed to use temporary heating for winter indoor thermal comfort. Based on field study data of indoor microclimate conditions of two Auckland townhouses with a whole home mechanical ventilation system or a passive wind directional skylight vent, this study is to evaluate and compare indoor moisture conditions of two insulated townhouses only using temporary heating with different ventilation systems. Keywords—House ventilation, house thermal design, indoor health condition, indoor moisture control.

House Indoor Thermal and Health Conditions with Different Passive Designs
According to the Auckland climate, building passive design more focus on improving winter indoor thermal and health conditions. Based on field study data of indoor air temperature and relative humidity close to ceiling and floor of an insulated Auckland townhouse with and without a whole home mechanical ventilation system, this study is to analysis variation of indoor microclimate data of an Au...
متن کاملMovement and Sources of Basement Ventilation Air and Moisture During ASD Radon Control Additional Analysis
The original study in three Pennsylvania houses found that operation of active soil depressurization (ASD) radon control systems caused modest reductions in basement moisture levels. Additional, supplemental analysis has been conducted on the relationship between basement air and outdoor air moisture, and on the movement of airborne sources of basement air moisture under the influence of ASD sy...
متن کاملThe role of natural ventilation on reducing indoor radon concentration
Due to the increasing of closed ventilation systems used in buildings, the risk of indoor radon is increased day by day. In this study, we selected two sample rooms to calculate the radon emission coefficient from different levels, radon concentration measured when the natural ventilation was completely closed and compared with the analytical results. The results clearly show the difference in ...
متن کاملWhole House Ventilation Strategies
A detailed computer analysis was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of three alternative practices for controlling moisture accumulation in the walls of manufactured housing during the winter. The three practices included (1) providing an interior vapor retarder, (2) using permeable sheathing and siding, and (3) providing an outdoor ventilated cavity. The current HUD Manufactured Home C...
