Investigation of future ventilation flow rate requirements for dwellings in Belgium : from the application of FprEN16798-1:2016 to proposed robust rules

In the context of the PREVENT project, preparing a possiblerevision of the Belgian residential ventilation standard, the way of expressing ventilation requirements, among others in terms of ventilation flow rates, needs to be investigated. The aim of this paper is to propose and compare ways of expression of the ventilation requirements in terms of flow rates with respect to their robustness across dwellings. The application of the different methods proposed in the recently developed new draft standardFprEN 16798- 1:2016 has been compared for a series of Belgian dwelling configurations: method... Mehr ...
