New Materials and Assessment of Ventilation Efficiency Floors

Abstract

The main subjects of the thesis are new materials and assessment of ventilation efficiency floors. As we are working with old buildings most of all, in most cases waterproofing is not working and simply it is missing. The rising humidity can, without any problems, penetrate higher to the brickwork or flooring above. Therefore we need a suitable solution. Software CFD is capable of flow visualisation which is then used as the base for the ventilation efficiency assessment.

Measurement and Calculation of Ventilation in the Floor of the Brewery Žirovnice

“…The functionality of the ventilation system has been demonstrated in previous articles and the measurement method was described. [1,2] This year's contribution extends the list of results and gives a somewhat more detailed idea about how the entire ventilation system in a specific floor responds to outdoor temperature changes. The air inlets of the ventilation system are located (in the direction of prevailing winds) at the northern windward side of the object at basement level.…”
