Characterizing Indoor Air Quality Performance Using a Graphical Approach

September 14, 2016
Author(s)
Kevin Y. Teichman, Andrew K. Persily, Steven Emmerich
In this paper, we describe and demonstrate an approach to illustrate the performance of buildings with respect to indoor air quality (IAQ). In the absence of an adequate or agreed-upon IAQ metric(s), we describe a graphical approach to presenting IAQ

An Improved Method Of Modeling Infiltration In Commercial Building Energy Models

June 1, 2016
Author(s)
Lisa C. Ng, Steven J. Emmerich, Andrew K. Persily
Different strategies for improving building envelope thermal performance are being implemented in commercial building design and construction as well as being incorporated into ASHRAE standards and other design requirements. The energy impacts of

Formaldehyde Concentrations in a Net-Zero Energy House: Real-time Monitoring and Simulation

April 19, 2016
Author(s)
Dustin Poppendieck, Shahana S. Khurshid, William Stuart Dols, Lisa Ng, Brian Polidoro, Steven Emmerich
Measured real-time formaldehyde concentrations in a net-zero energy house were compared to simulated concentrations from a recently-developed, coupled building energy and airflow/indoor air quality model. Measured and simulated formaldehyde concentrations

Characterizing Indoor Air- Quality Performance Using a Graphical Approach

March 8, 2016
Author(s)
Kevin Y. Teichman, Cynthia H. Reed, Steven J. Emmerich
In this paper, we describe and demonstrate a graphical approach to illustrating the indoor air quality (IAQ) performance of high-performing buildings. We start by describing previous efforts to establish IAQ and indoor environmental quality (IEQ) metrics

THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL SIDE OF RESILIENCE

February 1, 2016
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
NIST is developing a framework to define programs and strategies to increase community-based resilience in the face of a broad range of natural disasters and other extreme events. Many of these events will affect indoor environmental quality either through

Infiltration and Ventilation in a Very Tight Home

September 23, 2015
Author(s)
Lisa C. Ng, Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
The Net Zero Energy Residential Test Facility (NZERTF) was constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the development and adoption of cost-effective net zero energy designs and technologies. Key design objectives

INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE: A REVIEW AND DISCUSSION

July 19, 2015
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Steven J. Emmerich
NIST is developing a planning guide to define strategies to increase community-based resilience in the face of a broad range of natural disasters and other extreme events. Many of these events will affect indoor environmental quality (IEQ) either through
