Abstract

This study examines the efficiency of natural ventilation in maintaining compliant IEQ levels in airtight dwellings. The methodology encompasses a longitudinal study that utilises a combination of low-cost and high-grade sensors in a range of energy-efficient houses in Ireland, to collect measurements of key indoor pollutants and thermal parameters. Results suggest the deficiency of natural ventilation to sustain conforming indoor pollutants levels. The results, presented at the conference, will include the data from ten dwellings, evaluating data trends of the measured parameters, as well as evaluating thermal comfort levels.
