Indoor air quality and energy saving as two opposing problems in Polish building sector.

Author(s) : KROL M., NANTKA M. B.

Summary

Buildings are the most energy-consuming division of the Polish economy, accounting for about 50% of end-use energy. Strong energy savings are being made in thermal insulation of buildings already constructed and also by using some energy-saving technology in new houses. Natural ventilation is the most often used way to ventilate. Air-tightness is therefore undesirable especially since there are very often gas installations (gas cooker, water-heater, etc.) in Polish dwellings. They affect indoor air quality and may even cause some threat to human life. In the paper, some numerical simulations and experimental measurements are presented.
