LoginBibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
Perceived air quality, symptoms, and perception of the environment were studied in a naturally ventilated office building in which a felt carpet was substituted by linoleum on the first floor and by polyolefine floor tiles, known from previous stu
A comparison is made between two thermal simulation modelling programs with particular reference to HVAC plant modelling.
This paper summarizes a two volume National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) report entitled "Home Energy Rating System Building Energy Simulation Test (HERS BESTEST)" (Judkoff and Neymark, 1995a).
The design of a naturally ventilated atrium was assessed using both wind tunnel and CFD methods to appraise and modify the response of the system to wind forces.
This paper presents the results of a neuro fuzzy control setting the fan-coils air flow rate of three zones of a dwelling to improve the comfort.
This paper presents a methodology to effectively model the performance of central chilled water plants in campus or multi-building complexes where detailed modeling of every building served by the plant is out of the question, usually due to budge
A new system for accessing wall and roof transfer function coefficients has been developed.
This work describes the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of flow and pollutant dispersion around a cube.
A randomised approach to multiple regression analysis of building energy simulation | 1997 | English
Multiple regression analysis (MRA) is useful for developing energy prediction equations from the results of building energy simulation.
Computer models used for analyzing heat transfer have been developed and computerized for the precise thermal analysis of two typical prefabricated radiant floor heating panels.
The present paper describes how the use of a modal synthesis method in the study of the thermal behaviour of buildings both facilitates and hastes the modelling step concerning the problem of linear conduction in multidimensional components.
Much of the current building simulation research and development concentrates on improving user interfaces to simulation “engines”. The goal seems to be to make the software easier to use. This begs two questions: what interface to use?
Full simulation of a building’s HVAC control is important. Good control is the most cost-effective way to reduce plant size and save energy and maintenance cost.
While visual rendering of buildings is the state of the art in today' s design programs, acoustic or auditory rendering is still in its infancy.
The use of daylighting and artificial lighting simulation programs to calculate complex systems and models in the design practice often is impeded by the fact that the operation of these programs, especially the model input, is extremely complicat
Computational modeling of building performance can generate extensive amounts of data. For this data to be useful, it must effectively interface with the informational requirements and procedural constraints of the building delivery process.
