LoginBy 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.
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 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.
As high performance design is becoming more desirable in the field of architecture, the need for supporting architects with environmental analysis tools is also growing.
In this paper, the thermal behaviour of a ventilated window is studied. The particularity of this system is the existence of an airflow passing between the glasses of a triple glazing.
Completed in early 2012, the showcase Tyree Energy Technologies Building (TETB) is the new home for several energy research groups at the University of New South Wales.
Our research group has been working on modeling of occupant behavior relating to window and air conditioner usage for energy simulation of residential buildings.
Earth-air heat exchangers can be considered as one of the current responses to the problem of rational use of energy and comfort in buildings.
In the framework of the MEGAPICS project “method toward guarantee of solar cooling and heating system”, a simplified pre-design tool for designer and planner has been elaborated.
Considerable progress has been made in the field of building simulation for combined heat, air and mass transfer processes occurring in the indoor environment, yet concerns persist over the reliability and suitability of moisture property data int
Generating global energy management strategies: application to the CANOPEA building | 2013 | English
In this paper, the energy management system that has been developed for the CANOPEA building is detailed. It is based on a virtual represen-tation of the building system including envelope, do-mestic appliances and technical appliances.
In this paper, the effect of the windows shading systems both on visual and thermal comfort and on the total building energy needs (for heating, cooling and artificial lighting) has been analyzed.
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.
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.
