  - by Pennycook K (January 2009)
  - This guide is intended to assist technical dialogue between the client and the designing team during the briefing process, and help clients to identify and raise technical questions that they feel are relevant to their organisation's specific needs. For construction...
- - Wind-Driven Natural Ventilation Systems (Withdrawn) (BG 2/2005)
  - by Parker J. & Teekaram A. (February 2005)
  - Provides guidance on the design and application of wind-driven natural ventilation systems. Topics covered are: how wind-driven ventilation works; performance factors; siting and installation; meteorological data; automatic controls; test method; designing and sizing methodology;...
- - Displacement ventilation and static cooling devices (COP 17/99)
  - by Abbas T. (September 1999)
  - Writes to recommend good, accepted practice for the design and implementation of displacement ventilation systems with and without static cooling devices, based on previous and current research as well as the views of consultants and manufacturers considered to be experts in this...
- - Air distribution in naturally ventilated offices (TN 4/99)
  - by Jackman P J. (February 1999)
  - Presents the result of a study supported by the DETR under the Partners in Technology scheme. Provides guidelines on the factors required to achieve successful natural ventilation in offices in summer by the use of openable windows.
- - Modern ventilation techniques - Case studies scenario (TN 3/98)
  - by Booth W B. (December 1998)
  - Notes the gradual re-emergence of the use of passive ventilation and cooling techniques with some mechanical ventilation for peak loads (mixed mode). Penetration in the private sector is held back apparently because clients and developers do not believe such buildings will...
- - Refurbishment of air-conditioned buildings for natural ventilation (TN 8/98)
  - by Kendrick C & Martin A (August 1998)
  - States it has been demonstrated in a number of case study buildings that it is possible to maintain a comfortable environment when refurbishing without resorting to full mechanical ventilation or cooling. Presents guidance for refurbishing air conditioned buildings to utilise...
- - Guidance and the standard specification for ventilation hygiene (FMS 1/97)
  - by Loyd S R. (April 1997)
  - Describes the processes for conducting a ventilation hygiene contract, from managerial issues through to the technical aspects of cleaning. States the guidance is applicable to the health and safety requirements of mechanical ventilation systems, including air conditioning. It...
- - Control of natural ventilation (TN 11/95)
  - by Martin A J (January 1995)
  - Provides guidance on the application of building management system controls to natural ventilation. Explains how the provision of automatic control of air inlet vents with inaccessible air outlet vents results in improved ventilation rates, particularly in the summer, thus...
- - Efficient humidification in buildings (AG 10/94.1 (1995))
  - by Bennett K M. (January 1995)
  - Identifies the factors relevant to humidification for a broad range of humidification applications and sets out a procedure for the selection of humidifiers. Covers other relevant topics such as health hazards in some detail, together with good practice guides.
- - Carbon dioxide-controlled mechanical ventilation systems (TN 12/94.1)
  - by Booth W B. & Potter I N. (March 1994)
  - States that carbon dioxide-controlled mechanical ventilation systems can be an effective and energy conscious method of providing adequate ventilation air only while a space is occupied. Provides the results of measurements of CO2 concentrations in buildings and illustrates the...
- - Displacement ventilation performance - office space application (TN 3/93)
  - by Alamdari F (January 1993)
  - Explains the principle of displacement ventilation and its advantages. Reports on measurements of velocity and temperature fields in three modern office spaces to analyse the performance of the incorporated displacement ventilation system, based on thermal comfort and temperature...
