Humidity as a Control Parameter for Ventilation

Alireza Afshari, Niels C. Bergsøe

Open publisher page 19 citations

Abstract

The objective of this study was to develop energy efficient ventilation strategies that will provide both a healthy and comfortable indoor climate and reduce energy consumption compared to present ventilation standards. Humidity was used as a control parameter for the ventilation. Four different ventilation strategies were tested in a test apartment. The results of the experiments indicated that humidity can be used as a control parameter for ventilation and that energy can be saved without compromising indoor air quality.
