The Potential of the Multi-Angled Facade System in Improving Natural Ventilation
(SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2020)This paper is part of a research study focusing on highlighting the potential of using Multi-Angled Façade systems in improving natural ventilation inside an office room. The multi-angled façade is a three-dimensional ... -
The relation between indoor air quality in a bedroom and sleep quality of ageing adults
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Research on the effect of indoor air quality (IAQ) on sleep quality is limited. Furthermore, most research has been conducted with students. Therefore, the effect of IAQ (CO2 concentration as proxy) on the sleep quality ... -
The resulting CO2 levels and the heating/cooling consumption of apartments with balanced ventilation versus window ventilation
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Four apartments have been monitored for an entire year. Two apartments were ventilated with a balanced ventilation system, and two apartments were ventilated by manual opening of windows. CO2 values have been registered ... -
The risk of overheating and energy demand of new and old Finnish apartment buildings in the cooling season
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)This study has compared the risk of overheating of a new and old apartment building in Finland and aimed to improve the indoor temperature conditions of the new apartment building using the passive strategies (sun shading, ... -
Thermal comfort and occupant adaptive behaviours in naturally ventilated hospital wards in a hot-humid post-epidemic context
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)In free-running hospitals, which comprise a significant part of the healthcare infrastructures in countries with the weakest public health systems, unmet spacecooling demand can exacerbate indoor overheating. To date, we ... -
Thermal comfort in a hospital isolation room – A laboratory study
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)The aim of this study is to examine thermal comfort, perception of air movement, and perceived symptoms of persons lying in patient bed in a hospital isolation room. The study had a repeated measures design with two test ... -
Thermal Comfort Level of Patients and Surgical Staff in Operating Rooms at Nordic Hospital
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)In healthcare facilities and hospital environment, it is essential to enable thermal comfort for occupants. Unstable thermal conditions in the operating room (OR) will influence the performance of surgical staff and ... -
Thermal Insulation of Clothing: Assessment of Cleanroom Clothing Ensembles
(SINTEF Proceedings;9, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)In cleanrooms, the thermal optimization is not always possible, thus the suitable selection of clothing is important to achieve thermal comfort. In the case of specific cleanroom clothing, the values of thermal insulation ... -
Thermodynamic Properties of The Binary Mixture of Monoethanolamine and Carbon Dioxide
(SINTEF Proceedings;7, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2021)Homogenous densities in the liquid phase and VLE data were measured for the monoethanolamine and carbon dioxide system. The density data were obtained on five isotherms in a temperature range between 313.15 K and 353.15 ... -
