23、ienic status of the room by introducing outdoor air into a room, diluting contaminants, heat, moisture or odour generated in the room, and evacuating them. In terms of energy savings, it is also important to keep the ventilation at the required rate, in order to reduce heat loss and heat gain under
24、air conditioning as much as possible. Measurement of airflow rates is often necessary, for example to check if the performance of a ventilation system is as intended, to assess the source strength of contaminants, to ensure that contaminants are properly eliminated, etc. The methods described here c

35、ation decay method, continuous dose method and constant concentration method, is used to measure the ventilation rate/specific airflow rate. Selection of a measurement method and data processing depends on a building structure, ventilation system and measurement instrument employed. The concentratio
36、n decay method has a limited measurement time of up to several hours while the continuous dose and constant concentration methods can provide a longer measurement time up to several weeks. The guideline of selection of the method and what is measured by the method is listed in Table 1.In order to im
37、prove the accuracy of measuring the ventilation rate/specific airflow rate, it is sometimes necessary to devise measures that approximate prerequisite conditions demanded of measurement methods. In particular, if a measurement method were used that requires uniformity of concentration in the effecti
38、ve mixed zone, it would be preferable to forcibly mix the internal air. In general, forced mixing of internal air has little effect on ventilation rate/specific airflow rate, but there is a risk that forced mixing affects the measured ventilation rate if natural ventilation due to temperature differ
39、ences predominates and the temperature within the room is distributed significantly, or if airflow emitted from a fan for the purpose of mixing air directly impinges on the leakage areas in buildings. In such instances, a mixing system needs to be improved or it would be recommended to select a meas
40、urement method that could ensure uniformity of concentration without mixing.In Table 1, specifications for the various applications are described as follows: “Room concentration can be maintained uniform at initial stage only” means making the concentration in the effective mixed zone uniform by a m
41、ethod such as forced mixing when supplying a tracer gas into the zone, but allowing the concentration to be distributed in principle with the measurement. If it is specified that “room concentration can be maintained uniform at all times”, continuous forced mixing of air in the effective mixed zone
42、is preferable. However, if the constant concentration method 2 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 12569:2012ISO 12569:2012(E)is used, and if concentration is controlled by injecting the tracer gas at several places and air is sampled at several locations, it is possible to assume that concentrati
43、on is uniform without mixing. “Average exhaust concentration can be measured” may either mean instances in which concentration in an effective mixed zone is made uniform using mixing, or instances whereby the pressure inside a zone is kept lower than the outside when using the exhaust ventilation sy
44、stem, or the leakage area is extremely low so the exfiltration rate may be ignored, and exhaust pathways may be specified beforehand. When using measurement methods that require the “known volume of an effective mixed zone”, the volume of the effective mixed zone can be estimated using room dimensio
45、ns. However, when using the corresponding average inverse concentration method and average concentration method, if a sufficiently long time is taken to evaluate the ventilation rate, high accuracy for estimating the volume of an effective mixed zone is not needed. Measurement methods that can be ap
46、plied in instances where “fluctuation in ventilation rate can be ignored”, are designed on the assumption that the ventilation rate/specific airflow rate over time does not change.Table 1 Method, application and measured quantitiesMethodApplication and measured quantitiesApplication What is measured

For measurement of ventilation rate among the other measurements, if volume of an effective mixed zone is known, the ventilation rate can be obtained by multiplying the volume of the effective mixed zone by the specific airflow rate, and then converting to ventilation rate. The measurement methods marked with “” in the “flexibility to transient ventilation rate” column can
