This CD gives information to understand and apply the new French Thermal Regulations RT 2000, which are applicable to new residential and commercial buildings and which mainly concern the calculation of energy consumption of buildings and comparison with reference values.
The CD includes the official texts of the regulations, a slide presentation of the regulations, software tools enabling the user to make sensitivity analysis of the calculation results to various parameters of the building.
The Airinstruct project objective was to understand the thermal performance of ventilated building components, namely ventilated roof, ventilated wall, solar roof and dynamic insulation.
The aim of this workshop organised by BBRI was to identify recent developments in ventilation systems/strategies and to analyse how such innovative systems are at present treated in regulations and how they could be better treated in the future.
This article describes a new system developed and patented by a Belgian firm for air purification, using photocatalysis (UVA radiation + titania dioxide) for VOC and odour removal. Results from degradation tests are presented.
A new room model has been developed and validated in order to be used for the assessment of HVAC sensors, assuming non-homogeneous room conditions and distinguishing between different sensor positions. .
This technical note from AIVC aims to provide information on residential ventilation systems and how these can be applied to meet the conflicting needs for fresh air and minimised energy consumption.
The research in this thesis aims to provide information about the uncertainty attached to the prediction of thermal comfort in buildings, in the context of the specific case of a naturally ventilated office building.
The key objective of Precis was to evaluate the potential of renewable energies, including natural ventilation, in cities by exploring the relationships between urban form and energy/environmental performance.
