Size-resolved inhalation intake fractions for particles released from human activities in residential indoor environments
Inhalation exposure to elevated concentrations of airborne particulate matter is a public health concern. Assessment of exposure can be enhanced through better knowledge of source-receptor relationships, which can be characterized through the inhalation in ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Building ventilation and outdoor air pollution: Implications for health, comfort and energy
As humans spend most of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly impacts their health. In parallel, building ventilation consumes significant energy, contributing to climate change. However, the relationships between the building ventilat ...
EPFL2023Optimal sensor placement for personal inhalation exposure detection in static and dynamic office environments
Modern health and productivity concerns related to air pollutant exposure in buildings have sparked the need for occupant-centric monitoring and ventilation control. The existing personal exposure monitoring is often restricted to stationary air quality se ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Adequacy of stationary measurements as proxies for residential personal exposure to gaseous and particle air pollutants
People are exposed to myriad of airborne pollutants in their homes. Owing to diverse potential sources of air pollution and human activity patterns, accurate assessment of residential exposures is complex. In this study, we explored the relationship betwee ...
ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE2023Measuring the effective thermal resistance of ventilated air-spaces behind common wall assemblies: Theoretical uncertainty analysis and recommendations for the hot box method modifications (ASHRAE 1759-RP)
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad
A well-designed ventilated wall that incorporates air-space behind cladding can reduce energy use for conditioning buildings by adding a thermally resistive layer. The scarcity of thermal performance data and standardized test methods is a particular barri ...
2022Numerical and experimental study of the dynamic thermal resistance of ventilated air-spaces behind passive and active façades
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad
The variation of the thermo-hydrodynamic behavior of the airflow in the ventilated cavity behind external claddings in a wall structure could potentially affect the overall thermal resistance of the entire structure. Although the impact of an enclosed air- ...
2022Impact of the ventilated air-space behind traditional (passive) and BIPV (active) façades on the thermo-hydrodynamic performance of the building wall structures
For many decades, ventilated cavities in wall assemblies of buildings have been essential for creating moisture-resilient constructions by allowing airflow within the air gap to promote drying. In addition to that, the airflow in the cavity can contribute ...
EPFL2022Fast Lead-Free Humidity Sensor Based on Hybrid Halide Perovskite
László Forró, Dragan Damjanovic, Endre Horvath, Alla Arakcheeva, Márton Kollár, Pavao Roko Andricevic, Trpimir Ivsic
An environmentally friendly analog of the prominent methylammonium lead halide perovskite, methylammonium bismuth bromide (MA3Bi2Br9), was prepared and investigated in the form of powder, single crystals and nanowires. Complete characterization via synchro ...
2022Thermal resistance of ventilated air-spaces behind external claddings; definitions and challenges (ASHRAE 1759-RP)
Dolaana Khovalyg, Mohammad Rahiminejad
The presence of an air-space within a building envelope is known to have a varying contribution to the overall thermal performance of the wall assembly due to the combined effect of convection and radiation in the air cavity. In particular, the thermal res ...
2021Experimental assessment of an active (acoustic) liner prototype in an acoustic flow duct facility
Hervé Lissek, Maxime Volery, Gaël Matten
In this paper, experimental results of broadband noise reduction in an acoustic flow duct are presented. An active liner composed of an array of electroacoustic absorbers is used. The control law is based on the pressure-based, current driven digital archi ...
