Ventilation studies in nine air-conditioned office buildings in Singapore.

Author(s) : SEKHAR S. C., THAM K. W., CHEONG D., et al.

Summary

A research initiative has yielded a reasonably large database, the details of which are presented in the paper. Tracer gas techniques, employing the concentration decay method, were adopted to obtain the fundamental age of air values in nine buildings. Other ventilation characteristics were subsequently computed. The measured air change per hour values in the building with the highest ventilation provision is almost eight times that of the building with the lowest ventilation provision. Apart from minor short-circuiting profiles in some zones, the air exchange effectiveness values have generally been observed to indicate well-mixed flow patterns.
