Indoor environmental assessment: comparing ventilation scenarios in pre- and post-retrofitted dwellings through test cells

In the next few years, outdoor temperature is expected to increase significantly as a result of climate change, a noticeable phenomenon, especially in the Mediterranean. In this future scenario, ventilation is a low-cost and useful strategy for tackling indoor overheating, mainly in energy-poor hous...
