Partners • Aldes Aéraulique - France • BBRI - Belgium • Bergschenhoek BV - The Netherlands • BSRIA Ltd - United Kingdom • Basler & Hofmann - Switzerland • University of Porto - Portugal • AB J&W - Sweden • TNO Bouw - The Netherlands
Results of the project • Source book : Towards improved performances of mechanical ventilation systems • 1Introduction • 2The TIP-VENT challenges • 3Performances and quality of ventilation systems • 4Ventilation requirements • 5Energy use due to ventilation • 6Ventilation performances in daily practice • 7Concepts for achieving improved ventilation systems • 8Lessons learned from the Tip-vent project • 9inovative developments • 10References
Results of the project • 24 task reports • Status report – Design methods for ventilation systems in residential and commercial buildings. • Guidelines for performance based mechanical ventilation systems • Development of low energy ventilation systems. • Impact of standards and regulations on the performance of ventilation systems. • The impact of ventilation upon energy consumption in buildings. • …
Results of the project Three innovative products have been developed within the framework of the project : • Active noise attenuator • Set of components for low energy ventilation systems • Booster intake valve for punctual but high ventilation needs
How to disseminate the results ? • Reports : 662 pages / 14 MB (PDF files) • Different options : • Website with all the reports • Printed version of all the reports • Printed version of source book + CD-Rom with all the reports • CD-Rom with all the reports
Website with all the reports • Advantages • No printing cost • No postage cost • 20 MB website quite cheap (about 40 €/month) • Disadvantages • Maintenance of website : 1 Year ? 5, 10, …? • File download through modem ? • How to find the site ? • Availability of files if no internet connexion is available (meeting rooms, ..) ?
Printed version of all the reports • Advantages • Nice publication • No need of computer to read it • Disadvantages • Printing costs High cost : • Postage costs Who will buy it ? • Cost to stock the books Management of sales ? • Difficult to travel with it • Where to keep it in small offices ? • Save the trees
Printed version of main report + CD • Advantages • Nice publication • No need of computer to read the main report • CD quite cheap (about 0.5 to 1 €) • Easy to keep the CD (in office, travel, …) • Disadvantages • Printing costs Need to be sold • Postage costs Management of sales • Computer needed
CD-Rom with all the reports • Advantages • Low cost (0.5 to 1 €) No need to sale it • Low postage costs Just give it • Easy to keep the CD (in office, travel, …) • Large scale dissemination possible • Disadvantages • Computer needed • No nice book
The Tip-Vent experience : Website • www.tip-vent.com is no longer available because of web hosting cost after the end of the project • Poor access statistics • General keywords (“Ventilation”) in search engines lead to major websites (AIVC, manufacturers, …) • Specific key-words (tip-vent) are known by a few persons • Full address need to be published in articles (along the life of the website)
The Tip-Vent experience : CD-Rom • 4600 CD-Rom • Distributed for free • In Belgium, France, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom • To usual “clients” of partners • At conferences, workshops, …
The Tip-Vent experience : AIVC-CD • Tip-Vent results have been published on the AIVC-CD n°1 • 13500 copies • Distributed worldwide (CD n°1 is free of charge) • Source book is available on new issues of AIVC-CD • 4000 copies each 3 months
The Tip-Vent experience : Enerbuild CD • The Source book is available on the Enerbuild CD • 8500 copies
