LoginNatural ventilation and dynamic temperature simulation of buildings was until now a priviledge of highly skilled building physicists. Combined simulation of both is even rarer.
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 presents a method for predicting occupants’ indoor thermal sensation in naturally-ventilated environments, based on real thermal sensation samples, using a GA-BP neural network model.
In order to get more effective natural ventilation into a room with a single sided opening or large depth, two new window types have been developed in the laboratory. These are based on three new patent developments.
Based on the theoretical and experimental studies of natural ventilation, the performance of natural ventilators has been analysed. Four types of natural window ventilators and three types of wall ventilators were studied.
This paper focuses on the performance of a new air curtain ventilation system.
This study presents an optimization method of sensor layout to improve identification accuracy of indoor contaminant sources.
To study the thermal effects on airflow in a street canyon under real heating conditions (due to diurnal solar radiation), a one-way static approach combining an urban canopy model and CFD is proposed in this paper.
With the rapid development of urbanization, the economy and number of vehicles, the urban climate has worsened in recent years, causing serious urban problems including urban heat islands, air pollution and infectious disease transmission. Ventila
The built environment in China is required to achieve a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2020 against the 1980 design standard.
As compared to mixing ventilation systems, the personalized ventilation system (PV) can help to create a healthy and comfortable working environment with a simultaneous reduction of energy consumption.
The air pumping effect of a fire plume, proposed years ago, to give a higher air intake rate through vertical openings in a compartment fire is further investigated in this paper.
The accurate prediction of particle deposition in ventilation ducts is an important step in estimating the exposure risk of building occupants to particulate matter.
Evaluation of Indoor Air Quality in Classrooms Equipped with Cross-Flow Ventilation | 2012 | English
In this work the evaluation of indoor air quality in a classroom equipped with cross-flow ventilation is presented.
Stratified ventilation systems use a fundamentally different approach to supply heated or cooled air through a building than the ‘fully mixed and dilution’ ventilation systems found in the majority of non-residential buildings.
The prevailing paradigm in indoor environment control of office buildings often excludes natural ventilation, due to the fact that its dynamic nature may not be compatible with the close control of mechanical conditioning systems.
The aim of this paper is to illustrate the impact of urban wind environments when assessing the availability of natural ventilation.
An urban heat island results in higher urban temperatures than the surrounding area and is considered as the most documented phenomenon of climate change.
This paper analyses approaches for setting airtightness requirements whether in voluntary or regulatory schemes. We have classified approaches for upper limits into two major types: default values and minimum requirement.
As operator of the Blower Door-test we often come in for a dilemma when government regulations shall be documented.
Seit kurzem wurde in Italien die offizielle Akkreditierung zum Messtechniker „RINA“ (entspricht TÜV in Italien) eingeführt, um die Basisqualifizierung von Gebäudeluftdichtheits-Messtechniker zu garantieren.
