Exhalation of buildings
Residential buildings can act as sources of sources of pollutant emissionsemissions, contributing up to 50% of the pollution generated in cities.
Ventilation systems refer to the set of ducts, sensors and machines responsible for extracting contaminated air from wet rooms, kitchen extraction hoods, sewer networks and garages and taking it outside. A set of systems that respond to the concept of building exhalation that will be developed in the project .
As a global view, it can be said that ventilation systems are responsible for introducing outside air into buildings , modifying the quality characteristics of the indoor air to achieve the objectives required by the rules and regulations .
Objectives
TRANSFER OF CONTAMINANTS
To analyse, quantify and reduce the transfer of air pollutants from ventilation systems in residential buildings to urban environments.
EXHALATION
Systematize the concept of exhalation in residential buildings.
ENERGY
Consider the energy or material recovery of pollutants.
Areas of production of pollutants in buildings: kitchens (particulate matter), ventilation pipes of sewage networks (methane), garages (varies depending on the subject engine and fuel used).
This project (PID2019-104083RB-I00) has a duration of 4 years (2020-2024) and has been funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, within the call for Projects of research and development+i Challenges research: challenge main - 5 Climate change and use of natural resources and raw materials.
