The response of 60 human subjects to a personalized ventilation system (PVS), providing control positioning the air terminal device and airflow rate, was compared with mixing (MV). Perceived quality, thermal comfort, intensity Sick Building Syndrome symptoms performance were studied during 3 h 45 min exposures. In case MV alone room temperature 23 degrees C 26 C. PVS supplied outdoor at or 20 recirculated when C, improved perceived quality decreased SBS re-circulated through PVS. percentage...
The analyses performed in this paper reveal that a breathing thermal manikin with realistic simulation of respiration including cycle, pulmonary ventilation rate, frequency and mode, gas concentration, humidity temperature exhaled air human body shape surface is sensitive enough to perform reliable measurement characteristics as inhaled by occupants. temperature, humidity, pollution concentration the can be measured accurately without if they are at upper lip distance <0.01 m from face. Body...
The effect of personalized ventilation (PV) on people's health, comfort, and performance in a warm humid environment (26 28°C at 70% relative humidity) was studied compared with their responses comfortable (23°C 40% humidity). Thirty subjects participated five 4-h experiments climate chamber. Under the conditions PV, were able to control rate direction supplied flow clean air. Subjective collected through questionnaires. During all exposures, occupied tasks used assess performance. Objective...
Human response to five different air terminal devices (ATDs) for a personalized ventilation system (PVS) was studied in an experimental office under well-defined conditions. A group of 30 human subjects assessed quality and rated their thermal comfort perception draft. Two temperature levels, 23°C 26°C, two background levels the office, high low, were during experiments. Under all conditions provided outdoor at 20°C. All PVSs allowed individual control airflow rate as well adjustments supply...
The paper analyses multi-variant energy simulations carried out in IDA ICE 4.8 software for a newly designed single-family building within the framework of 4E Idea. This idea assumes use energy-saving, ecological, ergonomic, and economic solutions construction operation. Energy were conducted to evaluate annual energy-saving potential developed architectural house concept, which incorporates ergonomic cost-effective solutions. Analyses optimise non-renewable primary index by selecting...
The response of 24 human subjects to local convective cooling, radiant and combined cooling was studied at 28°C 50% relative humidity. devices used were (1) a tabletop fan, (2) personalized ventilation providing stream clean air, (3) panels below above the desk in front occupant, (4) same two but with small fans blowing room air toward upper panel be cooled redirected person. A reference condition without also tested. significantly (p < 0.05) improved subjects' thermal comfort compared...
In this study, a controller method for window opening was developed to naturally ventilate classroom with 30 occupants. The aim improve indoor environment quality and limit the probability of COVID infection risk simultaneously. study based on building performance simulation using combined EnergyPlus, CONTAM, Python programs. Seven cases automatically windows were considered. Opening parameters optimized by genetic algorithms. It shown that functions improved ventilation considerably...
Diagnostics of natural ventilation in buildings is problematic, as the airflow rate changes considerably over time. One constant average usually assumed when calculating energy demand for a building, however, such simplification could be fraught with considerable error. The paper describes comprehensive methodology diagnostics system building and its practical application. Based on situ measurements simulations two existing (dwelling house school) Poland, real values ventilating airflows...
Works of art are sensitive to environmental factors—mainly temperature and relative humidity—which, when stable, generally recommended as ideal protection conditions, but in historical museum buildings, the required conditions difficult maintain, due a lack adequate heating, ventilation air-conditioning systems. The paper presents analysis one-year measurements humidity three different museums Poland. aim research was identify risk collections, unbalanced moisture loads unstable indoor air...
A lack of analytically robust and multiplexed assays has hampered studies the large, branched phosphosignaling network responsive to DNA damage. To address this need, we developed fully characterized a 62-plex assay quantifying protein expression post-translational modification (phosphorylation ubiquitination) after induction The linear range was over 3 orders magnitude, median inter-assay variability 10% CV vast majority (∼85%) were stable extended storage. applied in proof-of-principle...
Immunotherapies are revolutionizing cancer care, producing durable responses and potentially cures in a subset of patients. However, response rates low for most tumors, grade 3/4 toxicities not uncommon, our current understanding tumor immunobiology is incomplete. While hundreds immunomodulatory proteins the microenvironment shape anti-tumor response, few them can be reliably quantified. To address this need, we developed multiplex panel targeted proteomic assays targeting 52 peptides...
