Ventilation résidentielle au Royaume-Uni : vue d'ensemble.

Residential ventilation in the United Kingdom: an overview.

Auteurs : WOOLLISCROFT M.

Résumé

The paper describes the background to residential ventilation in the United Kingdom and its origin in the character of the housing stock, predominantly single-family dwellings and usually terraced or semi-detached but with an increasing proportion of detached houses. Thirty-five percent of dwellings are affected by condensation. Residential ventilation in recent years in the United Kingdom has been largely directed toward this problem. A comparison is made of fuel costs and indoor air temperatures between the United Kingdom and a number of other countries. Recent changes in United Kingdom building regulations are described concerning both ventilation and insulation and airtightness. Increasing concern about other pollutants, notably nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide and dust mites, is described. Future problems due to tighter, more highly insulated houses are considered. Some interesting new developments are also considered, such as through-the-wall combined supply and extract units with heat recovery.
