Development and monitoring of the MEED high efficient shower heat recovery unit

In well isolated dwellings especially with multiple residents domestic hot water (DHW) accounts often for more than 50% of the energy consumption.Currently there exist shower heat recovery units which recover 40 – 70 percent of the heat in the shower water. This efficiency can drop due to fouling of the heat exchanger, which is often not...

Air curtains: validation of results from small-scale laboratory waterbath experiments by real-scale measurements in climate chambers and numerical simulations

An air curtain is a planar turbulent air jet, which is used to separate two zones maintained at different temperatures. One of the aims of using an air curtain in the doorway of a building is to minimise the heat losses from the warm room to the cold environment and thus, to save energy. It is important to know how well an air curtain performs...

Openbaar eindrapport - Schoolventilatie met energiezuinige koeling en lage druk filtering (SchoolVent)

Nederland streeft naar een energieneutrale gebouwde omgeving in 2050. Ook scholen moeten hieraan bijdragen. Bij de huidige energetische renovatie van scholen treedt echter een probleem op: toename van oververhitting. Dit vraagt om de ontwikkeling van energiezuinige koeltechnieken die bij renovatie toepasbaar zijn en niet of nauwelijks tot meer...

PM2.5 in Dutch dwellings due to cooking

Cooking emissions have long been seen as an odour problem. However recent studies showed that Particulate Matter (PM) is the main health risk of indoor air and cooking can be a major source. A small field study within 9 Dutch dwellings indicates that depending on the conditions cooking can have a relatively large effect on the indoor exposure to...
