LoginAs an important influence factor of unban climate, unban water bodies take positive effect on the micro-climate of surrounding area in summer.
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 concept of an intelligent zone controller for the efficient operation of environmental systems in buildings. This controller deploys a predictive control methodology with embedded simulation capability.
This paper presents helical heat exchangers for geothermal use.
This study is focused on the impact of shading control and thermostat set point control on daylighting metrics, glare evaluation and energy consumption for perimeter office spaces (zones around perimeter).
Multidimensional effects through porous building elements is barely explored in the literature due to many difficulties such as modeling complexity, computer run time, numerical convergence and highly moisture-dependent properties.
The winter operation of ground-source heat pumps is expected to lead to drift phenomena in the zones surrounding the vertical ground heat exchangers. A moving aquifer tends to oppose the thermal drift, due to the advection groundwater phenomena.
Hygrothermal behaviour of a hemp concrete wall: experimental and numerical approach | 2013 | English
This paper reports on the simulation of the indoor thermal environment and energy demand of an Airport terminal space in the UK.
This study reports the results of a recent field survey for residential apartment buildings in Egypt. The aim of the survey is to create representative building energy models.
A sensitivity study is conducted with TRNSYS 17 to quantify the influence of different convection correlations during night ventilation on the thermal comfort.
Hygrothermal properties (such as thermal conductivity, sorption isotherm, moisture diffusivity…) are required for all Heat, Air and Moisture transfer (HAM) models.
Building performance simulation is being increasingly deployed beyond the building design phase to support building operation.
Retrofitting our current building stock is a vital part of meeting emissions reductions targets, using energy in a more efficient way and creating sustainable lifestyles.
Air handling units are used to provide a mixture of fresh and recycled (recirculated) air to buildings.
