摘要： A modulating preheating device (MPD) for a building energy recovery ventilation (ERV) system which can modulate its heating based on the conditions of both the building return air and the intake air is described. The MPD is an add-on module for ERV units utilizing a heat exchanger core which can preheat intake air when necessary to reduce frost formation. The preheating can be modulated using a controller.

摘要： A ventilation device control apparatus includes an image acquisition unit, a first calculation unit, and a ventilation control unit. The image acquisition unit acquires a captured image from an image capturing device that captures an image of a target space. The first calculation unit calculates a metabolic rate equivalent amount of a person in the target space, based on the captured image acquired by the image acquisition unit. The ventilation control unit adjusts a ventilation volume of the target space by a ventilation device that ventilates the target space, based on the metabolic rate equivalent amount calculated by the first calculation unit. A ventilation system further includes the image capturing device and the ventilation device.

摘要： A method for providing filtered air to a zone of a building includes operating an air handler to pass unfiltered air through a filter and output filtered air to the zone of the building. The method includes determining an amount of filtered air provided to the zone of the building by the air handler. The method includes determining if additional air filtration is required to satisfy at least one of a desired amount of clean airflow or a desired reduction of a risk of infection. The method includes activating an in-zone filtration device and operating the in-zone filtration device to draw air from the zone into an inner volume, filter the air, and recirculate the filtered air to the zone of the building in response to determining additional air filtration is required.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for operating a ventilation system for indoor air in an indoor space, in particular a motor vehicle. The method comprises the steps of: providing a fresh air portion of supplied fresh air and a recirculated air volume flow according to a predetermined or selected operating strategy; determining settings for a recirculated air actuator for adjusting a fresh air portion, in particular a recirculated air flap or a recirculated air valve, and a fan power of a fan for adjusting a mixed air volume flow (QM) of supplied recirculated and fresh air; increasing the fresh air portion and/or the mixed air volume flow (QM) as a function of a pathogen filtration efficiency of a cabin filter and a predetermined contamination prevention volume flow as a pathogenic indoor concentration limit value (CP) for a maximum concentration of pathogenic aerosols.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for controlling a passive-ventilation system of a building, comprising: determining an outdoor air temperature of air in an environment of the building; determining an indoor air temperature of at least one zone inside the building; calculating a temperature difference by subtracting the determined outside air temperature from the determined indoor air temperature; and, if the calculated temperature difference is greater than zero, controlling a state of at least one passive-ventilation device of the passive-ventilation system to be in any of a closed state, an open state, and one of one or more intermediate states between closed and open state. Each of the states corresponds to one value of an opening fraction value of the at least one zone inside the building varying between 0 and 1.

摘要： A system, method and apparatus for sensor-based air quality metrics for ventilation performance and infection risk. Virus pathogens can be transmitted through the air, as they attach to airborne droplets or particles (bio-aerosols). A ventilation performance and infection risk can be determined using dynamic air exchange rates based on measured changes in air contaminant levels.
