LoginThermal comfort standards determine indoor conditions in buildings as well as the energyconsumption for heating and cooling purposes.
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 concept for more realistic and reliable evaluation of thermal indoorenvironment.
A new way of the thermal level environment assessment based on “operative temperature thermal level” and new units “decitherm” is introduced, which allow the feelings of man to be followed.
In this study, a subjective experiment was conducted in a climatic chamber to clarify the effect of moderately hot environment on productivity, especially on the relationship between performance and fatigue.
Then main objective of this work is to create subsidies for an analysis of Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) from ISO 7730 (1994) and from the new version of the norm, from 2005, for thermal comfort evaluation in Brazilian workplaces.
When dimensioning closed rooms according to the thermal sensation solving the relevantequations is necessary for a prediction of the PMV and for the determination of the surfacetemperature of clothing without using expensive simulation programmes
The attitudes can reveal the hidden reasons behind the customer choices.
The authors present a theoretical derivation of the WBGT formula for outdoor conditions that was originally developed from the results of experiments on human subjects, based on a heat balance equation between the human body and its outdoor enviro
The aim of this study is to create a database of the effective thermal insulation provided to thebody segments by various types of summer clothing (Rclei). In a climatic chamber with calmair conditions (v ?
In order to calculate mean radiant temperature in an outdoor environment, we had to calculate a hypothetical sky temperature from directly measurement or an empirical formula of atmospheric radiation expressed as functions of daily mean air temper
Half the electricity use in supermarkets derives from the display of refrigerated food. Climateinfluences the performance of the cabinets and their energy use as well as the thermal comfortof people and the temperature quality of the food.
This study presents the first Flemish monitoring campaign on indoor air quality in children’s living environment.
The buildings’ environment plays a very important role in health matters and the quality of life. A series of experimental measurements were carried out in the residential sector of the greater region of Athens.
Controlled milling of natural source materials has led to establishment of an allergen carrier particle sample bank for common, indoor, allergen proteins.
Clean indoor air is one of the most important factors for the welfare of the society. To understand and study the complex causality of different factors affecting indoor air quality, a databank and an IAQ-simulator have been developed.
The aim of this project was to investigate the indoor environment and building characteristics in relation to with asthma and allergy among Greenlandic children.
An epidemiological cross-sectional questionnaire study on housing and health, involving 229 children in Sisimiut, was initiated in May 2006.
Measurements of SO2, NO2, and Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) of indoor air andcorrelation with outdoor air have been determined in an office of multistory mechanicallyventilated building.
The real estate market is changing rapidly and with it the evaluation of buildings.Requirements are being changed in order to meet market demand.
This paper studies the extent of mould problems in a high-rise apartment complex with sixbuildings located in suburban of Seoul, Korea. The complex is composed of 466 householdswith different stories in buildings.
