Evaluation of decentralized façade-integrated ventilation systems in Nordic climate.

Number: pap. 471

Author(s) : HAASE M., GRUNER M.

Summary

The work evaluates the applicability of façade-integrated ventilation systems in a Nordic climate. For this purpose the state of the art of façade-integrated ventilation (FIV) and demands for ventilation systems in Norway and criteria for a comprehensive evaluation are identified. In this framework agreements between national requirements and system-specific performance are assessed. The evaluation investigates indoor environment and comfort with focus on aspects of indoor air quality. Energy efficiency and emission efficiency are evaluated by comparison with a centralized ventilation system. The results of the evaluation show that current systems do not comply with all requirements of the Norwegian building code and related regulations. Some aspects need adaptation to local requirements. However, good performance and many possibilities can be expected in other respects e.g. indoor environmental comfort and user satisfaction since advanced principles are exploited. The technology has potential and might be an alternative if there is demand for high expectations on indoor environment and conventional ventilation systems are not applicable. The technological limits of façade-integrated ventilation are not reached yet. Possibilities of further development of the concept itself and related technologies are outlined in the work.
