Effect of Air Infiltration and Ventilation

November 17, 2009
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
This chapter discusses the role of air infiltration and ventilation in building moisture transport. While water vapor diffusion can be a very important moisture transport mechanism, as discussed in other chapters, bulk air movement via infiltration and

Building Retrofits for Increased Protection Against Airborne Chemical and Biological Releases

March 1, 2007
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Robert E. Chapman, Steven J. Emmerich, William S. Dols, Heather Davis, Priya D. Lavappa, Amy S. Rushing
Due to concerns about potential airborne chemical and biological (chembio) releases in or near buildings, building owners and managers and other decision makers are considering retrofitting buildings to provide some degree of protection against such events

Characterizing Gaseous Air Cleaner Performance in the Field

March 20, 2006
Author(s)
Cynthia H. Reed, Steven J. Emmerich, Steven J. Nabinger
As part of an ongoing effort to better understand the performance of indoor air cleaners in buildings, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed a series of gaseous air cleaner field tests and model simulations. This paper

Airtightness of Commercial Buildings in the United States

September 21, 2005
Author(s)
Steven J. Emmerich, Andrew K. Persily
In 1998, Persily published a review of commercial and institutional building airtightness data that found significant levels of air leakage and debunked the myth of the airtight commercial building. This paper updates the earlier analysis for the U.S. by

Predicting Gaseous Air Cleaner Performance in the Field

September 4, 2005
Author(s)
Cynthia H. Reed, Steven J. Nabinger, Steven Emmerich
As part of an ongoing effort to better understand the performance of indoor air cleaners in real buildings, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has completed a series of air cleaner field tests and model simulations. This paper
