LoginBibliographic 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.
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
The present contribution aims at a typical example of a low-energy house to repeat the known facts in environmental assessment of buildings, emphasize the need to use transient calculations of energy demand not only to optimize building envelope a
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.
Climate change and rising energy costs necessitate a shift in how buildings that efficiently provide comfort are envisioned.
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.
Integrated building performance simulation (IBPS) provides an appropriate means to appraise the performance of low energy communities featuring cooperating technologies for demand management and low carbon heat/power delivery.
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.
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
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.
Growing interest towards carbon neutrality have led to the proliferation of carbon footprint calculators (both online and software) to aid building professionals in quantifying the carbon impact of buildings.
