Abstract
The indoor emission of (ultra)fine particles and overheating from wood-burning stoves are crucial problems in modern houses when wood is used for heating. The main cause for indoor particle emission is the interaction between user and stove when lighting and refilling the stove. The main causes for overheating are a high thermal insulation level of the house and high (peak) wattage of the stove.
This research aims to understand how low wattage stoves with a computer added device and water jacket will perform on the indoor air quality as proper heating appliances for low energy houses.
Two field studies were designed to compare the influence of the auto-pilot device and water jacket on the indoor climate. The first experiments were conducted in 8 renovated detached houses using certified stoves while the following experiments were conducted in 4 low energy houses using modern and advanced stoves.
The results reveal that the users interaction impacts on the indoor air quality, although, the integration of the appliances in the dwellings, the air-inlets and the design of the chimney are the most relevant aspects to ensure a high indoor air quality.
