PASSIVE METHODS AS A SOLUTION FOR IMPROVING IND...

There are many aspects to consider when evaluating or improving an indoor environment  thermal
comfort  energy saving  preservation of materials  hygiene and health are all key aspects which
can be improved by passive methods of environmental control. Passive Methods as a Solution for
Improving Indoor Environments endeavours to fill the lack of analysis in this area by using
over ten years of research to illustrate the effects of methods such as thermal inertia and
permeable coverings  for example  the use of permeable coverings is a well known passive method
but its effects and ways to improve indoor environments have been rarely analyzed. Passive
Methods as a Solution for Improving Indoor Environments includes both software simulations and
laboratory and field studies. Through these  the main parameters that characterize the behavior
of internal coverings are defined. Furthermore  a new procedure is explained in depth which can
be used to identify the real expected effects of permeable coverings such as energy
conservation and local thermal comfort as well as their working periods in controlling indoor
environments. This theoretical base is built on by considering future research work including
patents and construction indications which will improve indoor environmental conditions with
evidence from real data. This makes Passive Methods as a Solution for Improving Indoor
Environments an ideal resource for specialists and researchers focusing on indoor air quality 
thermal comfort  and energy saving or with a general interest in controlling indoor
environments with passive methods.
