LoginHygrothermal properties (such as thermal conductivity, sorption isotherm, moisture diffusivity…) are required for all Heat, Air and Moisture transfer (HAM) models.
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 investigation proposed a two-step model to inversely identify release location and temporal rate profile of an indoor pollutant source in an arbitrary release form.
Moisture transfer in porous construction materials car-ries many causes for their degradation: mould devel-opment and freeze-thaw damage are favoured by the accumulation of water, and chemicals such as chlo-ride ions and carbon dioxide may acceler
This paper proposes a modeling and analysis convention for a side- and/or toplit space called the ‘reference office’.

Windows are the only part in buildings that can directly penetrate the solar radiation into the space and thus the shading devices are needed to control the solar penetration.
Model Predictive control is an advanced control tech-nique that has been used to optimize thermal comfort in buildings. Nowadays, the new buildings are char-acterized by an important inertia as well as low power heating systems.
In existing buildings, monitored data can support the process of simulation model calibration and validation. Such calibrated models could be effectively applied in building management and systems operation processes.
Optimizing the operations of a HVAC system in response to the dynamic loads and varying weather conditions throughout a year can result in substantial energy savings.
This paper deals with the global model based antic-ipative energy management system adapted for the CANOPEA building prototype proposed by the team Rhˆone-Alpes for the Solar Decathlon Europe con-test.
As an important influence factor of unban climate, unban water bodies take positive effect on the micro-climate of surrounding area in summer.
This paper, which is an extension of previous studies, presents the modeling of an existing central cooling plant by using the EnergyPlus program.
Simulation is often utilised in the regulatory assessment of building performance as in the case of the Australia’s Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
Traditional energy performance calculated using building simulation with the typical meteorological year (TMY) weather data represents the energy performance in a typical year but not necessarily the average or typical energy performance of a buil
This paper reports on a study of the thermal performance of two-storey apartments in Adelaide, South Australia.
