Summary

High performance low exergy ventilation systems have the potential to reduce the energy consumption of HVAC in buildings, and provide better air quality for occupants. Based on this concept, several efficient ventilation systems, which includes decentralized system and radiant cooling, were designed at ETH Zurich in Switzerland where they are successfully implemented in buildings. To evaluate the performance of these systems in the tropics, these technologies have been implemented in a prototype laboratory in Singapore (BubbleZERO – Zero Emission Research Operation). In this paper, the performance of the installed systems in our laboratory are evaluated based on different sets of experiments conducted by our team. The results of experiments have shown that the designed ventilation system could reduce dew point level in space below the acceptable level to avoid the risk of condensation on the radiant cooling panels.
