... Nevertheless, modern designs are staying the most requesting [99,100]. Thermal conditions inside buildings vary considerably with time [137]. Numerous studies reported that occupants who perceived their control opportunity as being insufficient were less satisfied of energy consumption in their residence [138,139]. ...

... However, the old filter had seen little use so the difference between filters was small. Fisk et al. (1987 Fisk et al. ( , 2000 Fisk et al. ( , 2002 Fisk et al. ( , 2003) have concentrated on performance and cost of air filtration technologies. Clausen (2004) and Jamriska et al., (2000 and Jamriska et al., ( , 2003) to determine the impact of air filtration in buildings. ...

... It was observed that the prevalence of selected symptoms might decrease by up to 70-85% with large increases in ventilation rate and/or improvements in ventilation effectiveness [131]. An airborne transmission model and published field data have been combined to statistically estimate a quantitative relationship between ventilation rate and sick leaves [132]. Apart from being responsible for odours and deteriorating performance, as mentioned above, VOCs can cause sensory irritation and even pulmonary effects [120]. ...

... Such spaces can not avoid high CO 2 concentration and occupancy fluctuation leading to excessive fresh air volume (Fisk & De Almeida, 1998). Having less CO 2 problem, lower densely occupied space should at least equipped with simpler system such as outdoor air monitoring system for ensuring the adequate fresh air rate (Fisk, 2006). After adopting DCV for decades, practitioners still improve the performances of DCV toward proper implementation and available technologies such as better sensors. ...

... Most cleanrooms have large areas and adopt automated equipment, thus, the numbers of personnel are small, resulting in non-uniform particle production and significant redundancy of air supply volume [5]. Previous studies have adopted the strategy to uniformly reduce the air supply volume of all FFUs by particle concentration monitoring [6] or personnel number counting in the cleanroom [7], according to the actual concentration at the monitoring point or the number of personnel, respectively. However, the particle distribution in the large-area cleanroom is significantly non-uniform, and the air volume can be furtherly reduced when guaranteeing safe cleanliness. ...

... Relatively few studies have focused on the airflow and contaminant diffusion path caused by such internal partitions [13,14]. Bauman et al. conducted a full-scale measurement to study the effects of partitions on air movement and thermal comfort in office spaces, and concluded that the height of the partitions had a significant effect on thermal comfort under mixed-ventilation mode [15]. Lee et al. also predicted indoor air quality and ventilation performance with internal partitioning based on a small model test chamber and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology under mixed ventilation [16,17]. ...

... During the past two decades these systems have offered an alternative to traditional overhead (OH) systems, and are now commonly used all over the world. There are several potential advantages of using UFAD systems compared to OH systems: improved thermal comfort123; improved indoor air quality [1,3]; reduced life cycle costs [1]; reduce floor-to-floor height in new construction. ...

... Other studies investigated the impact of thermal mass using Finite Element (difference/volume) Modelling (FEM) packages [39,40,60]. These either use a 'free-floating situation', where the interior is modelled with an adiabatic Boundary Condition (B.C) [11,39], (as defined in ISO 13790 [61]) or use an active internal boundary condition with a continuous or intermittent Dirichlet or Robin boundary condition where the indoor temperature is set [16,26,41,[62][63][64]. The free-floating situation shows the difference in the internal surface temperature only caused by the thermal mass of the element being modelled. ...

... There is some information on indoor air quality, as well as important new research results that will have a significant impact on the design of future airconditioned or ventilated spaces for human occupants. New W.J.Fisk, M.J.Mendell, J.M.Daisey, D.Faulkner, A.T.Hodgson, and J.M.Macher research results document for the first time that the quality of indoor air has a significant and positive influence on the productivity of office workers [41,42]. The increase of productivity should be compared with the cost of conditioning the indoor environment, which for office buildings in the developed countries is typically less than 1% of the labour cost. ...
