Experimental Study of Pollutant Transfer within Dwellings [PDF]
Roomvent 2007: 10th International Conference on Air Distribution
in Rooms, Helsinki : Finland (2007), 2010 A mechanical ventilation principle used in French residential buildings was tested in the experimental house of the CSTB research centre. The experiments dealt with pollutant removal efficiency of this ventilation principle, mainly with air tightness and the influence of internal doors.
