Developing Innovative Design Concepts for Airflow, Energy Sustainability and Fire Protection Safety in Buildings (semester?), IPRO 336

IPRO 336’s objective is performing an original experimental study that will help to determine the effects that stack effect phenomenon has on the distribution of the pressure and the airflow movements within high rise buildings. Specifically, the effect that phenomenon has a on the movement of the fume (in case of fire) and pollutant gases, which are directly related to the safety of the inhabitants. As a part of this project, the team is planning to:  Quantify the effect of pressure variation due to stack effect on airflow diffusers  Characterize the airflow diffuser  Perform the air-tightness measurement of the building envelope  Measure the airflow, pressure difference, temperature, relative humidity and air velocity in order to determine the thermal comfort indices (PMV, PPD and others)  Deliver a descriptive report of effects that stack effect has in case of fire, and prescribe possible solutionsDeliverables for IPRO 336: Developing Innovative Design Concepts for Airflow, Energy Sustainability and Fire Protection Safety in Buildings for the Spring 2007 semeste
