A Workplan to Analyze the Energy Impacts of Envelope Airtightness in Office Buildings

December 1, 1995

Author(s)

Steven J. Emmerich, Andrew K. Persily

US. office buildings consume approximately 1.2 EJ (1.1 Quadrillion BTUS or Quads) of energy, 0.72 EJ (0.68 Quads) of which is associated with space heating, cooling, and ventilation. These estimates, and other analyses of energy consumption in oillce

Computer Simulations of Airflow and Radon Transport in Four Large Buildings.

April 1, 1995

Author(s)

Jin B. Fang, Andrew K. Persily

Computer simulations of airflow and radon transport in four large buildings were performed using the multi-zone airflow and pollutant transport model CONTAM88. These buildings include a twelve-story multi-family residential building, a five-story

Airflow and Radon Transport Modeling in Four Large Buildings

January 1, 1995

Author(s)

Jin B. Fang, Andrew K. Persily

Computer simulations of multizone airflow and contaminant transport were performed in four large buildings using the program CONTAM88. This paper describes the physical characteristics of the buildings and their idealizations as multizone building airflow

Application of a Multi-Zone Airflow and Contaminant Dispersal Model to Indoor Air Quality Control in Residential Buildings.

September 27, 1994

Author(s)

Steven J. Emmerich, Andrew K. Persily, George Walton

A new multizone airflow and contaminant dispersal model CONTAM93 is described, along with a demonstration of its application in a study of ventilation and contaminant control in single-family residential buildings. While CONTAM93 is based on existing

Air Change Effectiveness Measurements in Two Modern Office Buildings

January 1, 1994

Author(s)

Andrew K. Persily, William S. Dols, Steven J. Nabinger

Local age of air and air change effectiveness were determined in two office buildings using tracer gas techniques to study the applicability of the associated measurement procedures in mechanically ventilated office buildings. Measurement issues examined
