Indoor air temperatures, CO2 concentrations and ventilation rates: Long-term measurements in newly built low-energy schools in Sweden

Indoor Air Quality: A Focus on the European Legislation and State-of-the-Art Research in Italy

“…In these situations, it is essential to consider the very close relationships between the various work activities and the quality of the building structure, finish, furnishings, and the degree of crowding of such environments. This includes the presence of technological systems or interventions for energy purposes only, without forgetting the ventilation needs of the environment for aspects related to health, performance, and staff and student performance [8].…”

Research on the effect of different position on classroom ventilation in a “L” type teaching building

“…A renewed concept of demand controlled ventilation (DCV) could be integrated into mechanical ventilation system and has significantly function for building energy consumption in future [ 21 ]. Branko Simanic proved this DCV integrated system successfully enabled indoor satisfactory climate [ 26 ]. However, David L. Johnson found that the HVAC system provided good control of temperature and humidity instead of interior fresh air supply [ 22 ].…”

“… Li Yang et al [ 15 ] 2019 Xiamen, China (Hot region) Natural CFD Different positions on Line type school building have disparate effects on classroom ventilation performance. Branko Simanic [ 26 ] 2019 Sweden (cold) Mechanical Measurement Mechanical ventilation system integrated with demand control could provide satisfactory indoor comfort environment. Luca Stabile et al [ 27 ] 2019 Cassino, Italy (Mild) Mechanical Measurement Both mechanical and natural ventilation approach have positive effect on the ventilated heat loss.…”

Measurement of CO2 concentration for occupancy estimation in educational buildings with energy efficiency purposes

“…Considering the recent trends in the research on sustainability issues, this paper considers the measurement of CO 2 concentrations and their variation to define the real-time occupation of indoor spaces inside public buildings as a method to define the optimal operation of an HVAC. In particular, using demand-controlled ventilation was proposed in various studies [ [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ]. Exact knowledge of the occupational profiles of indoor spaces is fundamental to achieve an operational efficiency increase of the HVAC system and control the environment while maintaining high standards of quality with reduced energy consumption.…”
