LoginThe Single Coil Twin Fan (SCTF) system is a newly developed air-conditioning and air distribution system that aims to deliver enhanced IAQ as well as save energy.
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.
For the prototype of the local air conditioning of the working places named PERMICS(Personal Microclimate System) the air velocity and turbulence intensity at horizontal air inlets were analyzed. The velocity field was visualized with smoke.
Analysis of operation of a prototype system for local air-conditioning of working places, named PERMICS-LOS1 (Personal Microclimate System) was made based on measurements of air velocity field, using a hot-wire anemometer and of tracer gas concent
This paper outlines the Australian Standard 1668.2: 2002 ETSHI risk methodology and extends it to give a means of calculating the numerical death risk from exposure of specific age/gender groups to defined Environmental Tobacco Smoke, (ETS) exposu
This study documented that houses in the southeastern United States built on typical wall ventedcrawl spaces possess the following characteristics: 1) liquid water, water vapor and associatedmoisture issues, 2) mold spores, 3) measured holes betwe
The air distribution is a realizing form of indoor flow field, which plays a vital role to indoor air quality in the design of Heating,Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
A report of an experimental evaluation of an ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (UVPCO) device with tungsten oxide modified titanium dioxide (TiO2) as the photocatalyst, is presented in this paper.
That large field study carried out in 104 child care centers (CCCs) in a hot and humid climate provides information on the IAQ characteristics and the corresponding respiratory health symptoms of children attending those CCCs under four different
The university of Michigan and its stakeholders invested in the creation of the Life Science Institute (LSI) , state-of-the-art research facility, to foster basic and translational research.
This paper is a demonstration of how school facilities can be designed and operated to tally with Ashrae's ventilation, energy and thermal comfort standards while remaiming energy efficient and cost effective.
The potential use of natural ventilation as a passive cooling system in new building designs in Kayseri, a midsize city in Turkey, was investigated for that study. Indoor air velocity distributions were simulated by the Fluent package program.
The European Standardisation Organisation (CEN) has drafted several standards to help the member countries to implement the European Directive for Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) approved in 2003.One of these draft standard is the "Indoor
Monitoring campaigns have been carried out over 2 or 3 years in 12 low-energy office buildings located in three different summer climate zones (summer cool, moderate, and summer hot) in Germany.
This paper describes the Frederick Lanchester Library at Coventry University, UK, that incorporates natural ventilation, daylighting and passive cooling strategies and presents the energy consumption and the internal temperatures and CO2 levels r
For this research, results from field surveys are used to formulate a method for simulation of office buildings to include the effects of window opening behaviour on comfort and energy use. What is general window opening behaviour ?
For this study; air circulation and temperature distribution in a room for a particular location of air inlet and outlet on opposite walls, has been investigated. A two-dimensional, steady, laminar, incompressible flow has been considered.
In low-energy building design, energy consumption due to space conditioning is responsible for over 30% of total energy consumed in commercial buildings.
Data center facilities that house computer equipment represent a high capital investment and are typically designed to function for at least a few years, often without any down time.
The dimensionless capture index (CI) is proposed as a cooling performance metric based solely on the airflow patterns associated with the supply of cool air to, or the removal of hot air from, a rack.
Best Practices for Data Center Thermal and Energy Management - Review of Literature | 2007 | English
The heat loads of servers and storage devices are continuing to increase at a rapid rate. These increases are causing data center operators to struggle with how to provide adequate cooling for these high-powered racks.
