...P.S. Hui; L.T. Wong; K.W. Mui Purpose The aim of this paper is to propose alternative sampling schemes for indoor air quality assessments in which a balance between the sampling time required and number of sampling points chosen is allowed. Design/methodology/approach CO₂ was used...

...Abbas Ali Elmualim; Yinping Zhang; Xiaojun Ma; Yiwen Jian; Yue Cao Purpose The purpose is to present parameters of a new design code, which is intended to control the indoor air environment for sports buildings in China. Design/methodology/approach Based on requirements of international sports...

... problems identified were, in priority order: excessive building moisture, inadequate outdoor air, excessive dust, pollutant gases and odors, inadequate thermal control, and inadequate attention by management to indoor environments. The highest priority recommended prevention strategies for building‐related...

...Abbas Ali Elmualim; Yinping Zhang; Abbas Ali Elmualim Purpose To evaluate the control strategy for a hybrid natural ventilation wind catchers and air‐conditioning system and to assess the contribution of wind catchers to indoor air environments and energy savings if any. Design/methodology...

...Abbas Ali Elmualim; Yinping Zhang; Seok‐Youn Kang; Seung‐Chul Lee; Hoseon Yoo; Jae‐Heon Lee Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the perimeter heating load about the air diffusion performance index (ADPI) and propose a selection guide for proper line diffuser when...

.... In addition, a subjective occupancy survey was undertaken. External weather conditions and internal indoor air quality indicators were recorded. The “tracer‐gas decay” method using SF₆ was used to establish air change rate for various conditions. The results indicated that the ventilation rate...
