This paper presents a comprehensive review on the synergistic effect of different air purification technologies, air filtration theory, materials and standards. It evaluated different air filtration technologies by considering factors such as air quality improvement, filtering performance, energy and economic behavior, thermal comfort and acoustic impact.

 

Moe, Kiel. Thermally active surfaces in architecture. Princeton Architectural Press, 2010

Thermally Active Surfaces in Architecture details ten contemporary case studies, from some of today’s most innovative architects. Kiel Moe, argues that water, with its higher density, is far better at capturing and channeling energy than air. By separating the heating and cooling of a building from its ventilation, the building’s structure itself becomes the primary thermal system.

 

Schlager, Hans, Volker Grewe, and Anke Roiger. “Chemical Composition of the Atmosphere.” In Atmospheric Physics, pp. 17-35. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2012.

Research is focused on the composition and processes in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. In this research the chemical composition of the atmosphere is addressed and selected examples of significant advances in this field are presented. We can find the chemical composition of air in this paper.
