Pressurized corridor (PC) ventilation systems are a common method used in existing multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) to deliver make-up air individual units, and as means of controlling inter-zonal odour/contaminant transfer. In PC systems, is supplied directly the enters units via intentional undercuts at unit entry doors. practice, amount each dependent on pressure differential between two zones, which can be affected by occupant behaviours, such window exhaust fan operation; wind;...
Provision of acceptable indoor air quality in multifamily buildings (MFBs) depends on the interior flows that impact dilution contaminants, cross-contamination between units and building energy use. The airtightness partitions design ventilation systems MFBs determine across partitions. These change total rate for individual units, mixing contaminants apartment or with common spaces. This study examines changes flow contaminant transport using combined CONTAM/EnergyPlus models. Key...
In the context of suite compartmentalization in multi-unit residential buildings, knowing airtightness individual pressure boundaries (e.g. floor, corridor wall, etc.) is imperative for diagnosis and remediation issues such as regulating ventilation air delivery managing pollutant transfer. However, conventional quantification methods, neutralization method, are cumbersome to complete. The feasibility an acoustic testing approach, which leverages relationship between increased leakage rate...
