Wane and others,

Can you point me to any of Professor Fanger's books or articles? A

Google and Amazon search didn't produce anything substantive.

Carl, see the following link

http://www.ecs.syr.edu/news_detail.asp?IDin=219

Ole is (was) a Danish Research, well respected in the ASHRAE and

European circles. There are some that indicate that he brought Comfort

Standards into the 21st century. Google Ole Fanger or P Ole Fanger

In my view this was a great loss to our industry of a great researcher

and teacher.

Hope that helps

Carl, all:

an entire issue of the journal " Indoor Air " (Vol 14, Supp 7, 2004)

served as a " festschrift " to honor Dr. Fanger at the time of his

retirement from the DTU.

http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/ina/14/s7

in addition to 22 original articles presented in his honor by the

likes of Wyon, Bill Fisk, Jan Sundell and Charlie Weschler, the

issue includes Dr. Fanger's complete CV. it lists 12 books or book

chapters (mostly chapters) that he authored; e.g., see the McGraw-Hill

" IAQ Handbook " , Chap 22.

his contributions to this industry are probably better reflected in

the more than 300 papers he published. you'll find that list in his

CV as well. it's much too long to post here.

happy reading!

Wane and others, Can you point me to any of Professor Fanger's books or articles? A Google and Amazon search didn't produce anything substantive.Carl,Ole Fanger was a charming and very accomplished man with a broad and international perspective on HVAC issues as they affect the people who live and work in our buildings. But he was probably more well-known in the ASHRAE community than to the American public. He, his colleagues and his students around the world are responsible for many of the most compelling studies on thermal comfort and indoor air quality, many of which form the basis of ASHRAE recommendations in chapter 8 of the ASHRAE Fundamentals volume (Thermal comfort) and Standard 55 (Thermal comfort).To gain a better appreciation of his accomplishments (and what his much-too-early demise represents to the IAQ sciences and industries), one could look at the ASHRAE bookstore, and then search under "Fanger"http://resourcecenter.ashrae.org/store/ashrae/newstore.cgiLew

Anyone remember the Olf unit of measure? One of the many

many contributions of Dr. Fanger; an IAQ person truly deserving of respect. Here

is one definition:

The olf is a unit used to

measure the scent

emission of people and objects. It was introduced by Danish professor

Ole Fanger; the name " olf " is derived from the Latin word olfactus,

meaning " sense of scent " . One olf is defined as the scent emission of

an " average person " , a sitting adult that takes an average of 0,7 baths per day and

whose skin has a total area of 1,8 m2; the

scent emission of an object or person is measured by specially trained

personnel comparing it to normed scents. The olf should not be confused with

the of scent imission (as opposed to emission), the decipol, which also takes

into account the ventilation's air volume flow.

Obituary

- Professor Povl Ole Fanger

The International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ) and the

International Academy of Indoor Air Sciences (IAIAS) mourn the sudden passing

of Professor P. Ole Fanger on Monday night, 18 September 2006, in Syracuse, New

York. His passing marks the closing of an important

chapter in the field of indoor air sciences.

Ole Fanger was a most outstanding champion of improving indoor climate and

environmental quality. He dedicated his life to the cause of generating

knowledge and understanding of the intricate relationship between man and the

indoor environment. His contributions to the understanding of thermal comfort,

olfactory sensory perception, and human response and performance vis-à-vis

indoor environmental quality are monumental and have far reaching impact. His

work and vision in these areas have inspired many generations of students,

colleagues, and other researchers.

ISIAQ, IAIAS and the Indoor Air Journal owe their existence to Ole Fanger, who

played a major role in their establishment. He was a founding member of ISIAQ

and IAIAS, and served as president of IAIAS for several years. He was one of

the founders the journal Indoor Air, and served as its chairman for many years.

He played a key role in developing Indoor Air into the most significant and

highly regarded journal in the field. Ole Fanger's contributions directly and

indirectly shaped the development of ISIAQ from a fledging society into one

which now has the most eminent scientists and influential thinkers in the

field.

Ole Fanger is the most decorated member of ISIAQ, and ASHRAE, having been

conferred honorary doctorates by 12 universities, membership or honorary

membership of numerous prominent scientific associations, including the US

National Academy of Engineering, and having received 79 prizes and awards from

29 different countries. He was to have received another 3 honorary doctorates

in China

later this year.

As a person, Ole Fanger epitomized the renaissance scientist in the field of

indoor environmental science and engineering. His research acumen, intuitive

insights, rigorous paradigms and extraordinary perceptions forged the important

research directions in the field. Ole places the human being at the centre of

his research, and that focus has made him one of the greatest contributors to

advancing the quality of life and work.

Despite his achievements, Ole was a most humble person. His generosity in

according credit to others is matched only by his generosity in sharing ideas

and inspirations. In so doing, he was able to advance the science of indoor

environments well beyond what many great scientists have been able to

accomplish.

Ole Fanger is aptly considered as a father of the indoor air sciences. Though

he has left us, his inspiration will live on indefinitely in the hearts and

work of members of ISIAQ and IAIAS.
