Bibliographic 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.
In this paper, the parameters in a building thermal simulation model are tracked, which are subject to modeling uncertainty, i.e. uncertainty arising from commonly applied physical assumptions and simplifications.
A new integrated simulation system for the building services design and facilities management purposes is being developed by Insinööritoimisto Olof Granlund Oy.
Since two years, the Dutch building consultancy practice has been supported by an integrated design environment to base its advices on.
Computer based design aids have much potential to improve the productivity of the design process and provide more confidence in the performance of a building.
This paper reports the current state of an ongoing collaborative project which aims to promote modelling and simulation of energy in buildings by making self-learning course material available on the World Wide Web (WWW).
This article presents a study of a building-equipment coupled system performed at the Gaz de France R & D Division. The commercial building under study is equipped with an air-conditioning installation which includes a gas-fired dual-seJVice a
This paper presents the theoretical modelling work of an elementary urban units (street), thermal behaviour.
The physics of moisture transfer is complex and as a result modelling is normally carried out on a macroscopic basis, with empirical coefficients used to simulate the transport process.
The design of monitoring system for distnbuted energy and heat supply is presented in the paper.
This paper discusses a multi-year (MY) approach to building energy simulation and presents a pilot study in Hong Kong that investigates long-term building energy performance using MY weather data. Building energy simulations in the pilot study wer
A numerical and experimental study is performed to analyze the influence of natural convection on heat transfer in a composite system comprising a porous material heated from below and an air space situated above this.
The well-known versions of the sunpath diagrams that appear in the AIA’s Architectural Graphics Standards are based on the equidistant sky dome projections and use a shading mask protractor developed by Olgyay and Olgyay at Princeton University in
The paper presents an interactive on-line package for calculation of energy and cost demands for residential infiltration and ventilation, with input and output data entry through a web browser. This is a unique tool.
The paper presents the results from a numerical and experimental investigation of the velocity distribution in a ventilated industrial hall in the nuclear power plant in Bulgaria.
The paper deals with the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) application to the comfort optimization of some complex architectural projects in which the physical interaction effects between the building and its environment affect strongly the build
This paper is concerned with the optimisation of some design criteria for water based active solar space heating systems intended for residential applications in Cyprus.
This is the first of two papers that describe the development of simulation methods for optimally controlled central plant equipment which have been implemented in the IBLAST (Integrated Building Loads Analysis and System Thermodynamics) building
