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.
The purpose of this study is to assess the capabilities of a thermal model to represent actual building energy consumption when trying to best fit the input data of the model to the actual data of the building in operation. The approach has been a
In this paper, two different forms of the non-linear PDE-system for heat and mass transfer in porous materials and their implementation with COMSOL Multiphysics are considered. The φ-based form presents the relative humidity as system variable and
This paper presents computational work in building information management, data interoperability, and data population, to support automatic carbon analysis.
Starting from an entry in the recent German Energy Plus Renovation competition (EPA --- EnergyPlus im Altbau 2012), the paper presents the design tools used to assess the project's energy consumption at competition stage.
The aim of this study is to check the accuracy of a nodal model to predict correctly the flow fields involved inside a building by wind-induced pressure.
We investigate the possibility of using geothermal hot water in heat-driven cooling systems, for air conditioning in tertiary buildings in Belgium.
In this article, an under-floor air distribution system is analyzed. The inlet device is placed near a thermal manikin and several turbulence intensities are imposed. Sensitive parts of the body are exposed to the airflow.
In this study, the feasibility of using thermal buffering enhanced with phase change material (PCM) to enable heat pump load shifting for a typical UK dwelling was investigated by comparing the performance of a buffered, load-shifted heat pump aga
A valuable skillset for building industry professionals is proficiency in high-level, scripting languages that can automate and perform many common repetitive or technically intensive tasks.
One of the key responses of the UK Government to the European Energy Performance Building Directive EPBD2002 has been the introduction and refinement of an energy efficiency compliance tool for domestic dwellings, the Standard Assessment Procedure
