LoginBy natural ventilation, the air rate varies randomly. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the naturalventilation performance due to insufficient measured data.
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.
A successful Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) surveillance plan is essential for healthy and safe workplaces;yet it is costly to sample all air pollutants of the entire community.
This study presents a multi-objective optimum design method for reliable indoor humidity environmentsbased on the appropriate use of moisture-conditioning materials.
A group of 2-story detached houses is built next to a river stretching from south to north. There aremore than hundreds of houses, called the riverside townhouses in this study, in the construction site.
Energy conservation is one of the key issues for environmental protection and sustainabledevelopment. Currently, about 17% of the total energy is being consumed for heating, ventilation, airconditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration in Hong Kong.
We already have had theoretical model to predict temperature and humidity variations in a room. Manyworks have estimated the accuracy of the numerical model, but they might be influenced by the airmovement.
In 2000, the domestic greenhouse gas emission in Japan was 1332 million tons of CO2, whichincreased by 8% in comparison with that of 1990.
Indoor ozone has received attention because of its well-documented adverse effects on health.
FIELD SURVEY ON THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS IN THE NIIGATA AREA | 2007 | English
The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual conditions of the energy consumption of varioustypes of inhabited houses (e.g., wooden detached houses and condominiums) in the Niigata area.
This research clearly shows unpleasant odors in hospitals, with the goal of obtaining the basicinformation needed for formulating measures to control such odors.
In recent years, volatile organic compounds have caused chemical sensitivity by increasing indoor airpollutant concentrations.
The previous paper (Part 1) proposed the concept of "equivalent material age" that uses the Arrheniusrelation and explained a method for long-term prediction of indoor volatile organic compound (VOC)concentration considering temperature dependence
The purpose of this study is to determine how levels of indoor air quality vary in elementary schools insouthern Japan.
Even in relatively warm areas in Japan, frost damage of roof tiles occurs. In the field of material scienceand technology, the mechanism of frost damage has been investigated.
The present paper deals with modeling of various low-exergy system components and their integrationinto the energy system for buildings and small communities.
Korean residential buildings have been airtight due to the energy economization plan since 1970’s energy crisis. As a result of this, the residential buildings have faced lack of ventilation and resulted in poor indoor air quality of buildings.
Assumptions of productivity costs related to the outdoor supply airflow rate and indoor temperature canbe made based on a number of recent studies.
This study aims to investigate and clarify the effects of roadside trees and moving automobiles onoutdoor airflow distribution, turbulent diffusion of air pollutants and thermal environment within streetcanyons by means of the results obtained fro
In this paper, the indoor environmental quality for the commuter train space was analyzed for assumingthe load factor of seat capacity to be a parameter of analysis.
The objective of this study is to provide research results of the actual conditions concerning theconcentrations of PM10, PM2.5, PM1 and CO2 among particle and gaseous pollutants in a subwaycarriage.
