LoginIn order to make sustainable single houses, it is very important to control the outdoor thermal environment. Therefore, various relaxation methods for the outdoor thermal environment are often planned, e.g.
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.
In some emergencies, such as fire or accidental release of chemical/biological agents in buildings, it is very useful to simulate the flow on real time or even faster than real time so that proper measures can be taken to minimize casualties.
It is difficult to model those complicated objects around buildings, which will obviously affect the flow patterns and temperatures of the outdoor environment. In this paper new method is concluded to solve this kind of modeling problems.
Failures can lead to a series of problems in the complex heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings. Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) is an important technology to solve these problems.
In this paper several kinds of window shading are introduced and compared.
Dynamic facility state models could effectively support simulation-based building systems control.
The simulation of building efficiency and cost is a crucial driver to contemporary building design today. This paper presents the development of a software tool to simulate the lifecycle costs of building construction and maintenance.
The use of a thermal probe allows a range of in-situ conditions to be taken into account that impact upon the properties of building materials (λ, α) as encountered in reality.
The following paper is focused on hygrothermal behaviour of roofs with ventilated air layers subjected to air leakages in their internal decks (the internal partial construction located below the ventilated air layer).
This paper presents a set of solutions to enable differential time scales for dynamic boundary conditions within whole-building energy simulation, specifically occupant behavioral adaptations in response to short-term changes in solar and dayligh
Fires in buildings account for 60% of fires in Taiwan. Since establishment of the National Fire Agency in 1995, many fire codes have been promulgated resulting in a gradual decline in the number of casualties of fire.
Residential buildings are characterized by being envelope-load dominated buildings, hence are greatly influenced by the outside climatic conditions.
This paper presents the features of Eco-Bat, a computer program developed to assess the environmental impacts of buildings, including construction materials and energy consumed, during its life cycle. The methodology used to evaluate environmental
This paper demonstrates a simple and practical simulation-based approach for fast identification of appropriate building design strategies at the early stage of a design project.
It is obvious that a building permanently exchanges with its nearby environment (mainly light, heat, sound, visual accessibility); these interactions are numerous and complex enough to require serious means of investigation, more especially as the
VAV system is a very complicated one in airconditionging systems, thus automatic control become the key of such a system. As necessary components in automatic control system, sensor has failure risk.
Various simulation programs and visual tools of HVAC system ever released, which were not originally developed to be used as commissioning tools, are considered to be potentially powerful tools for commissioning, as use of these programs facilita
Velocity fields on the platform area and flow rate of the smoke extraction system were experimentally measured under the different fan-operation modes in an actual subway station in Beijing.
The aim of this research work is to investigate the actual energy consumption in existing public buildings and to obtain the basic data for energy conservation of these buildings.
In this paper, the potential of energy saving in residential building in Changsha area was studied with dynamic simulation approaches.
