Performance of a demand controlled mechanical extract ventilation system for dwellings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The main aim of ventilation is to guarantee a good indoor air quality, related to the energy consumed for heating and fan(s). Active or passive heat recovery systems seem to focus on the reduction of heating consumption at the expense of fan electricity ...
