LoginCurrent building regulations are designed to ensure that buildings, including newly built and retrofitted residential dwellings, are more energy efficient.
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.
France is committed to minimizing its greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on the most energy-consuming sector, the residential and tertiary building sector.
Humidity-based DCV systems have been widely used in France for 35 years and are considered as a reference system, including for low-energy residential buildings.
The steady-state concentration of occupant generated carbon dioxide (CO2) is used in some applications as an indicator of compliance with a required ventilation rate.
The fan pressurization method is a common practice in many countries for measuring the air leakage of houses. The test results are sensitive to uncertainties in the measured pressures and airflows.
Infiltration of unconditioned air through access openings and entrance doors with high recurrence can cause detrimental impacts to the energy performance, air quality and thermal comfort of buildings.
This study aims to use the WELL Building Standard (v2), an internationally recognised rating system for health & wellbeing in buildings, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the effect of wellbeing measures
Ventilation systems assume that the outdoor air quality is better than the indoor air quality at al times as they use outdoor air to dilute pollutants emitted by humans, activities, the building itself and other objects.
When designed and operated adequately, natural ventilation (NV) can improve the buildings’ energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
Purpose of the work
This presentation is the recording of the first 100 airtight tests in Greece, from 2010 until today.
Purpose of the work
In Denmark, a manufacturer and dealer of vapor barrier membranes has observed unusual behavior. The membranes were installed in a small house and show that the system can be set up and be tight.
I would like to report on lessons learned in the field regarding two measurements at a special, particularly airtight and unusual building: A "concrete shell for CO2 storage in recycled concrete aggregates".
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
Weltweit steigt die Nachfrage nach Luftdichtheitsprüfungen von hohen Gebäuden mit einer Höhe ab ca. 100 m.
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
Wie groß ist der energetische Beitrag für energieeffiziente Gebäude aufgrund der Undicht-heit von Abluftklappen für Dunstabzugssysteme?
Diese Präsentation behandelt Aufzeichnungen der ersten 100 Luftdichtheitstests in Griechenland von 2010 bis heute.
