VENTILATION MEASUREMENTS IN LARGE OFFICE BUILDINGS.

Author(s) : PERSILY A. K., GROT R. A.

Summary

VENTILATION RATES WERE MEASURED IN 9 OFFICE BUILDINGS USING TRACER GAS MEASURING SYSTEM. THE BUILDINGS RANGE FROM A TWO-STORY BUILDING (1,900 M2 ) TO A 26-STORY BUILDING (65,000 M2 ). THE RESULTS ARE PRESENTED AND EXAMINED FOR VARIATION WITH TIME AND WEATHER. IN MOST CASES, THE VENTILATION RATE OF A BUILDING IS SIMILAR FOR HOT AND COLD WEATHER. IN MILD WEATHER, OUTDOOR AIRIS USED TO COOL THE BUILDING AND THE VENTILATION RATE INCREASES. IN THE BUILDINGS WHERE INFILTRATION IS A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE TOTAL VENTILATION RATE, THIS TOTAL RATE EXHIBITS A DEPENDENCE ON WEATHER CONDITIONS.
