Advancement of the Measurement of the Indoor Environment in Building Entrance Toggle navigation

Researchers have found that natural airflow
through large openings in buildings, such as
doors and windows, contributes significantly
to building energy consumption. Additionally,
it has a significant impact on indoor
environmental quality. Most studies focused
on a few factors since quantifying infiltration
is complicated. For this reason, more research
is needed to develop better methods of
measuring infiltration and to understand how
airflows behave. To that end, we continue to
explore various methods to accurately
calculate the amount of infiltration and
exfiltration that takes place in large openings.
We searched for various instruments and
measuring methods in the literature. The
findings helped us develop a plan for field
measurements in real buildings. Field
measurements are needed to gather data for
the main factors, so that the impact of
unwanted airflow thorough entrance doors
can be properly evaluated.
