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.
Venetian blind can have a major impact on building energy use and occupant's comfort. Butmanual or motorized Venetian blind has limitations in meeting occupants needs and inreducing energy consumption.
The trend to reduce energy losses through enclosures (walls and windows) is an increasingly important part of improving the energy efficiency of a building.
In this study, a numerical analysis has been performed to examine the natural convection heattransfer and flow field inside a saltbox roof with eave in winter day conditions.
In the practical applications, roofs of buildings can be in different shapes depending onarchitectural design of building or climate. Some of these building roofs can be classified asgambrel, saltbox and gable roofs.
In order to get an accurate knowledge of the energy consumption of buildings and ofcomfort parameters inside of closed rooms depending on the time, we developed amathematical model.
Because we spend most of our time in enclosed spaces, demand in thermal comfort ofbuildings rose increasingly and then energy consumption correspondingly is increased,aggravating the pollution of natural environment.
Not long ago the ASHRAE Technical Committee on Load Calculation, TC 4.1, had a “bake off’ of sorts between different peak air-conditioning load calculation schemes and programs.
Ventilated façades have become an increasingly employed feature in the design of low energy buildings over recent years in that they offer the attractive features of a conventional glass façade but without the thermal disadvantages.
A multiple film based daylight control system for window has been developed to maintain theilluminance level at task plane.
To realize a desirable building environment by saving energy and low global emission, the author has been investigating passive systems in buildings where the environment is controlled biomimetically and autonomously by simulating the physiologica
In recent years, there has been an increasing number of publications on the thermal and daylight performance of double skin facades in moderate climates.
Concepts of sustainability in buildings and cities are many and there are various programmes for healthy cities and researches on indoor air quality. Wellbeing indoors depend on external factors also.
Close to Zermatt (Switzerland) the new Monte Rosa mountain cabin is going to be built in2008 at 2810 metres above sea level.
The focus on the needs and drives for adaptation of the building automatically leads tochanging needs and demands of the occupants of the building.
Integral design shows high promises to reduce failure costs and to improve design quality.
A workshop was held in the fall of 2006 for the purpose of developing courses related to “Energy Efficient Integrated Sustainable Design for the Built Environment” for university, college, and vocational schools.
The application of a ventilation system in a new building is a multidimensional complex problem that involves both quantifiable and non-quantifiable data e.g.
In the world of design and engineering, gaps of knowledge between these disciplines are recognized. The learning capacity of the building industry – as well as in other industries – is becoming a main issue, also within Architect-organizations.
Various means of improving the energy efficiency of commercial buildings while preservingand/or improving their internal environmental quality have been extensively studied.
