LoginThis 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.
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 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.
This research focuses on design optimization of roof daylighting systems in office buildings. The optimization is based on computer simulation of daylighting and overall energy performance.
A new methology using agent-based modeling for human behavior simulation is presented. This approach aims to address the limitations and/or challenges of dealing with behavioral components in existing building simulation programs.
This research focuses on design optimization of horizontal roof apertures known as skylights in office buildings.
This article presents a comparison between experimental and numerical results in terms of coupled hygrothermal behavior. The measurements were taken on an experimental wooden-frame house located in France.
Heat losses in collective heat distribution systems can be reduced significantly in well-insulated and well-controlled low-temperature networks.
By 2020 all new buildings within the European Union should reach nearly zero energy levels. Their energy needs should be significantly covered by renewable energy sources.
The inherent feature of fixed inner volume ratio of the scroll compressor causes large degradation of the compressor’s indicated efficiency when the inner compression ratio mismatches with the system compression ratio under the off-design conditio
To produce a realistic building reference’s model, in order to work on a retrofitting project, input data have to be chosen with the field’s information. The present work concerns French residential buildings of the pre-world-war-II family.
Weather normalization is a crucial step in building energy rating and retrofit measurements.
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.
Natural ventilation in a room, transition from natural to adverse forced convection | 2013 | English
This study presents 2D numerical simulations of natural ventilation in a room equipped with two openings, one low and one high. The main features are commented in terms of flow and heat transfer.
The quality of a residential complex is based on numerous factors such as their access, privacy, legibility, appearance.
This paper describes the California Simulation Engine (CSE), a public domain, multi-zone, short-time step, detailed annual building simulation application developed to support the 2013 California Title 24 residential energy standards.
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.
