In the U.S. today, there is a significant danger that walkable communities are becoming unaffordable to low and even moderate-income residents. This paper reports on the results of a survey of affo...
In this paper, the results of recent quantitative-based housing research on Vilnius are synthesized with yet more recent field work findings from the same city. In the former, the authors explored ...
CO2-based demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) is a ventilation method that resets outdoor air supply rates using CO2 as an operating parameter (ASHRAE, 2007a). Even though CO2 itself is not harmful...
Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) flooring material contains phthalates and it has been shown that such materials are important sources for phthalates in indoor dust. Phthalates are suspected endocrine dis...
Air travel can rapidly transport infectious diseases globally. To facilitate the design of biosensors for infectious organisms in commercial aircraft, we characterized bacterial diversity in aircra...
Household use of biomass fuels is a major source of indoor air pollution and poor health in developing countries. We conducted a cross-sectional investigation in rural Kenya to assess household air...
This paper presents the concept of air-conditioning and thermal environment of the monumental historic auditorium at the University of Wroclaw. There are several requirements to be taken into accou...
Oil and gas production processing operations have been known to cause naturally occurring radioactive materials that could lead to internal and external radiation hazards and then a significant rad...
On 14th August 2007, Portugal instituted a smoking ban in most indoor public places. The goal of this work was to quantify the effects of this ban on indoor air quality (IAQ) in Portuguese restaura...
Owing to the fact that the growing of agricultural crops can be directly affected by climate conditions, large-scale greenhouses are usually used to control the indoor climate conditions for cultiv...
In the recent years, the spread of food odour in high-rise residential buildings has become a serious factor in indoor air quality problems in Korea. This study examined the use of ventilation syst...
This study developed a fungal biosensor to verify the germicidal effect of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems in the field from a biosensor originally developed to assess indoor clim...
This paper reports an investigation of the impact of indoor dynamic particle source on the operating strategies of all-air air-conditioning systems using a state-space model. In the case of constan...
This paper presents an investigation of allergenic proteins produced by moulds, which react with the blood sera of people living in mould-contaminated dwellings. The production of allergenic protei...
This paper investigates the deposition of micro-particles in two-dimensional turbulent channel flows by using a developed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The Reynolds stress model (RSM) a...
