Journal ArticleDOI
Cost optimal and nearly zero (nZEB) energy performance calculations for residential buildings with REHVA definition for nZEB national implementation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined cost optimal and nearly zero energy building (nZEB) energy performance levels following the REHVA definition and energy calculation methodology for nZEB national implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building leakage, infiltration, and energy performance analyses for Finnish detached houses
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the relation between the airtightness of a building envelope, infiltration, and energy use of a typical modern Finnish detached house in the cold climate of Finland.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of combining a relative-humidity-sensitive ventilation system with the moisture-buffering capacity of materials on indoor climate and energy efficiency of buildings

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of combining a relative-humidity-sensitive (RHS) ventilation system with indoor moisture buffering materials was investigated, and four comprehensive heat-air-moisture (HAM) simulation tools were used to analyse the performance of different moisture management strategies in terms of IAQ and of energy efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air tightness and air leakages of new lightweight single-family detached houses in Estonia
TL;DR: In this article, a field measurement study of the air tightness and the air leakages of 32 detached houses was conducted during 2003-05 in Estonia using an infrared image camera and a smoke detector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of weighting factors for climate variables for selecting the energy reference year according to the EN ISO 15927-4 standard
Targo Kalamees,Targo Kalamees,Kirsti Jylhä,Hanna Tietäväinen,Juha Jokisalo,Simo Ilomets,Reijo Hyvönen,Seppo Saku +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the EN ISO 15927-4 was modified by using monthly dependent weighting factors for the main climatic parameters in the calculation of heating and cooling energy demand in buildings, which may be used for many applications, such as the energy performance of buildings, the simulation of active or passive solar energy systems, HVAC system performance or indoor climate analyses.
