LoginCalibration of Building Energy Simulation is an under-determined problem. There can be several correct solutions. The consequences of using the Building Energy Simulation for retrofit design can be significant.
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.
This study aims to establish a correlation between thermal comfort and energy consumption for typical office buildings in India. Building envelope characteristics are varied to represent local energy code compliant case.
Different wall construction configurations lead to different wall thermal behaviour which affects energy consumption and thermal comfort of the room.
This paper depicts a formulation of the global home electricity management problem, which consists in ad-justing the electric energy consumption to the cost and availability variations of the power supply.
SRC (System of Resistances and Capacitances), is a new building thermal simulation program which uses an RC-Network representation to model the thermal flow among building elements and an H-Network rep-resentation to model the humidity mass flow amo
This paper describes the investigation of a former sports centre in order to establish design guidelines for a refurbishment.
The need to identify variables, which influence human behaviour, has become one of the priorities in the quest to reduce energy demand.
The concept of a supply-air window is to allow air renewal circulating between glasses before entering inwards. Based on this principle, a part of heat transfer through the glasses is recovered by air renewal.
Building energy model reduction exchanges accuracy for improved simulation speed by reducing the number of dynamical equations.
Based on observations conducted in an office building, we apply advanced statistical analysis methods, leading to the formulation of stochastic models for the prediction of buildings occupants’ actions on window openings and shading devices.
A type of a radiant system that uses the building concrete structure as energy storage, Thermally Activated Building System, is an energy efficient system, which utilizes the time-delay effect.
In this paper, the authors present the Georgia Tech Uncertainty and Risk Analysis Workbench (GURA-W), a software toolkit that explicitly captures uncertainty about the physical properties of the building and the energy models used to predict its p
A measurement technique was developed on capture efficiency of commercial kitchen ventilation systems affected by disturbance due to HVAC diffusers and movement of kitchen workers.
