LoginA measurement technique was developed on capture efficiency of commercial kitchen ventilation systems affected by disturbance due to HVAC diffusers and movement of kitchen workers.
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 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
To holistically understand the influence of inhomo-geneous and dynamic indoor climatic effects on hu-man thermal comfort, it is essential to investigate the appropriate dynamic human thermoregulatory pro-cesses and their complex interdependencies
This article shows the combination of a thermal-airflow simulation program with an energy systems analysis model in order to assess the use of natural ventilation as a method for saving energy within residential buildings in large-scale scenarios.
This paper deals with typical residential buildings constructed according to the national energy-efficiency standard in China’s severe cold region.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is one of the branches of fluid mechanics that uses numerical meth-ods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows.
Residential buildings consume about a third of the UKs total energy and the need to reduce this as part of achieving the 2050 CO2 emissions targets driving the interest the modelling and performance simulation of homes.
A 2D axisymmetric ODE model that couples heat transfer and groundwater flow in and around a stand-ing column well system was developed by the means of a thermal resistance and capacity network.

This paper describes the results of monitoring cam-paigns of a solar driven adsorption air-conditioning system. The energy performance figures of the sys-tem are computed and the adsorption chiller is mod-elled also based on measurement.
This research pursues an experimental implementation of an analysis framework in conjunction with an optimization framework for building design. The frameworks tie authoring and analysis tools together under one umbrella.
This paper deals with the energy man-agement problem of a railway station. This problem comes out from the VEGEP project whose goal is to prove the benefit of an energy manager in railway sta-tions.
At the Passivhaus of Cherasco, located in Pianura Padana (Italy), an earth to air heat exchanger (EAHE) and natural night ventilation (in summer) are used to deliver comfort conditions with very low energy consumption.
This paper reports on the development of a luminous efficacy model of global horizontal irradiance. The model is intended to be both simple and applicable to multiple locations.
As simulation researchers in the field of performance-driven architecture, we mainly describe in this paper an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) especially developed for eco-performance and real-time creative design simulations, associated with
