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.
We investigate optimal supervisory control of a building energy system with cogeneration of heat and power (CHP). The system consists of a Stirling engine and a supplementary burner, space heating and a domestic hot water (DHW) storage tank.
A more efficient use of energy in the built environment is absolutely necessary.
This paper presents the basic parameters and energy flows of an aquifer thermal energystorage (ATES) system combined with reversible water/water heat pumps used for heatingand cooling the new hospital Klina (Antwerp Belgium).
Object of the R&D activities of the last 2 years was the development of the new generation ofa stationary low temperature PEM fuel cell system (operating temperature max.
In this paper, we present the economic analysis of a solid-oxide fuel-cell (SOFC) micro-cogeneration plant in a single-family low-energy house in Finland.
This paper presents an established sustainable and integrated design methodology for theefficient heating and cooling of individual buildings and complexes.
This paper gives an overview of selected Micro CHP technologies and products with thefocus on Stirling and steam machines.
The issue of sustainability has been prevailed not only in building industry but also all otherindustries. It has been raised that the concept of green building system should be taken intoaccount for the design of buildings.
Nowadays no energy source should exist without regulation to ensure its efficient use. Theregulation can be quantitative, qualitative or combined. This article compares the utilizationof geothermal well in two situations.
There is an obvious and indisputable need for an increase in the efficiency of energyutilisation in buildings. Heating, cooling and lighting appliances in buildings account for morethan one third of the worlds primary energy demand.
This paper is devoted to the development of a decision support system that could assist districtheating authorities in strategic management of their asset.
New distributed simulation environment has been used to simulate the energy flows in a simple case community consisting of four buildings, power plant and a district heating network.
The district heating system should be accepted as a technical system, functionally and workable to provide heat for thermo technical needs of a higher number of different and connected us ers being located on a wider area usually in urban environm
Fuel cells offer an environmentally sound, distributed energy source for individual buildings.Many governments believe that security and sustainability of energy supply can be improvedwith this technology.
This paper presents an established sustainable and integrated design methodology for theefficient heating and cooling of individual buildings and complexes.
Multi-energy sources, for heating and cooling purposes, are considered to have a large potential in contributing to the penetration of renewable energy sources for domestic, building and industrial applications.
In the context of current promotion of Distributed Generation (DG), micro Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems for single or small ensembles of (residential) buildings are seen advantageous to combine both decentralized generation and rather high
PREA is a joint project between four European Universities and three African Universities aswell as the International Solar Energy Society (ISES), an international NGO, that promotesrenewable energy.
The specific features of natural ventilation system combined with solar chimney andunderground pit installed in a new school building and the measured results for four years aredescribed.
