Will drivers for home energy efficiency harm occupant health? [PDF]

, 2010
The UK government has committed to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050, with housing accounting for 27% of total current emissions. There are several drivers both to reduce emissions from homes and to reduce fuel poverty, promoting a range of

Ventilation efficiency in an occupied office with displacement ventilation — A laboratory study

Environment International, 1992
A number of room-ventilation design principles are in use. Common practice in offices is to use mixing ventilation. Increasingly, however, displacement ventilation is being applied; ideally, this involves fresh air displacing contaminated air without mixing. There is very little quantitative documentation of actual improvements in air quality resulting
