Building ventilation: theory and measurement.

Author(s) : ETHERIDGE D., SANDBERG M.

Type of monograph: Book

Summary

This book sets down the fundamentals of the theory and measurement of building ventilation and describes the various techniques for predicting and measuring ventilation. It addresses both envelope flows and internal air motion. Natural ventilation is re-emerging as an alternative to mechanical systems in some commercial buildings and both natural and mechanical ventilation are dealt with in detail. Section headings are: basic mechanisms and characteristics of envelope flows; flow through envelope openings; mathematical models of flow through building envelopes; basic mechanisms of mass transport within buildings; internal mixing in terms of age distribution models; momentum and buoyancy induced primary air flows; flows in rooms; flow through large internal openings; experimental techniques for flow characteristics; multizone representation of buildings; tracer gas techniques for ventilation rate measurements; tracer gas techniques for measuring age distribution and ventilation efficiency; measurements at model scale; Computational Fluid Dynamics and its applications.
