In many parts of the world, outdoor air quality is so poor that it is better to avoid ventilation with outdoor air.
In such cases, the alternative is to substitute ventilation with air cleaning to maintain high indoor air quality.
Even when outdoor air quality is good, the use of air cleaning substituting ventilation with outdoor air could reduce the rate of outside air supplied indoors and thereby energy for conditioning (heating/cooling) the ventilation air, filtration and for transporting the air (fan energy) can be saved.
This webinar will focus on the energy performance of gas-phase air cleaning.
Standalone air cleaners may improve air quality by delivering a certain Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR).
For the same level of air quality, the ventilation rate can be reduced by a similar amount.
However, standalone air cleaners are also using energy.
Air cleaners built into the ventilation system may increase pressure drop and using some power, which both increase the energy use.
A couple of studies based on models and dynamic building simulations on energy use for heating, cooling, and ventilation have been used to study the overall energy implications of using gas phase air cleaners.
The results will be presented and discussed in this webinar.
This webinar is organised by the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre in collaboration with IEA-EBC Annex 78, and facilitated by INIVE.
