Impact of surface roughness on particle penetration through building envelope leakage
Infiltration is the main ventilation style during heating and cooling seasons in residential building of China. Human inhalation exposure to particles of outdoor origin depends substantially on the degree to which particles can penetrate through building envelope. In the paper, we analysed the impact factors of particle penetration into indoor environment, and developed a mathematical model to ...

Using ASHRAE Indoor Air Quality Guide
In the 1970s, the approach to energy efficiency compromised Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Efforts should concentrate on net-zero energy buildings that do not repeat past mistakes. Forums have discussed sustainable buildings concentrating on energy use. Indoor air quality and its effect on health should factor into building design. IAQ has worked with ventilation standards such as the American Society ...

`Green Buildings` can create problems with IAQ
The recent trend towards energy conservation measures have in some cases led to airtight building construction that can often create problems with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Some 'green buildings' (also known as ‘green construction’ and ‘sustainable buildings’) have ignored the issue of IAQ in pursuit of energy saving measures. Ventilation systems are set to minimize the ...

Mathematical modelling of lead assimilation by printing press operators in a poor indoor air quality environment
Most printing presses in developing countries are located in buildings with inadequate natural and mechanical ventilation such that the press operators work for major hours in poor indoor air quality buildings, which expose them to a wide range of health hazards such as lead poisoning. Understanding how poor air quality affects the operator's body system is studied using a methodology involving ...

A study of heat transfer effects on air pollution dispersion in street canyons by numerical simulations
This study investigated thermal effects on the flow and dispersion of pollutant in urban street canyons. A heating module was introduced into the micro scale model MIMO for describing the thermal exchange between the air in the street and the buildings. Furthermore, the influence of wall temperatures and building shading on the in-street flow and its vertical transport is discussed. Results from ...

Single family home case study
After treating with EBB for visible mold on a leaky roof, an environmental company was brought in to test the air quality... The air inside the building is supposed to have the same concentrations of spores etc. as the outdoor air. The testing came back to show spore concentrations of up to... 10x lower than that of the outdoor air. I was excited about the results... My client was thrilled ...
