LoginHeating and cooling of buildings may be done by water based radiant systems, where pipes areembedded in the concrete slabs between each storey.
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.
Conventional multiple types of perfluorocarbon tracers use the number of gases equal to the number of zones (n). The possible n×n+n airflows are solved from the mass balance of the gas and the airflow balance.
The thermal performance of the building envelope is mainly required for guaranteeing a comfortableand hygienic interior climate. A roof is a part of the building envelope which provides protection from thethermal damage of the sun.
Blinds are used widely in numerous buildings to conserve energy and provide for occupants’ comfort in the perimeter zone.
The purpose of this investigation is to know the present status of indoor air chemical pollution byVOCs in Japanese houses.
In December 2004 the EU RESHYVENT project is completed, a three-year project within the EU FifthFramework Programme, on the investigation and development of Demand Controlled HybridVentilation systems in Residential Buildings.
In Heerlen, the Netherlands, warm and cold water volumes from abandoned mines is used for heatingand cooling of buildings, based on a low exergy energy infrastructure.
The heat island phenomenon in the Tokyo metropolitan area has spread ever more widely, and it is nowtoo wide to treat as a single regional phenomenon.
OPTIMAL DESIGN METHOD FOR BUILDINGS & URBAN
ENERGY SYSTEMS USING GENETIC ALGORITHMS | 2007 | English
In this paper, a new optimal design method for buildings and urban energy systems is proposed. Alsoits applicability is analyzed through a simple case study.
Indoor thermal environment is much affected by characteristics of an equipped heating system.
From the beginning of 2006 all new European buildings (residential, commercial, industrial etc.) musthave an energy declaration based on the calculated energy performance of the building, includingheating, ventilating, cooling and lighting systems
European Directive for Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD) was approved in the beginning of2003. The transition period is 3-6 years depending of the article.
To reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde emitted frombuilding materials and furnishings, it has been suggested that new buildings undergo a bake-out.According to the existing studies [3, 4], ventilation dur
A distributed energy system in Kitakyushu Science and Research Park (KSRP) has been introduced since April 2001. In this paper, the system’s running situation was analyzed by using the recorded data in 2003.
Since our earth has finite material resources and biological capacity, human must live within thecarrying capacity on the earth.As we exceed the carrying capacity of the earths ecosystem over thetime they stressed, then go into decline and finally
The growing worldwide demand for less polluting forms of energy has led to a renewed interest in theuse of micro combined heat and power (CHP) technologies in the residential sector.
Use of a portable HEPA filter cleaner in a room is believed to be capable of reducing the risk oftransmission of infectious diseases through removing the particles or large droplets to which pathogensare attached.
Decomposition of toluene in air was studied by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) on the one hand aswell as UV light as assistance to DBD on the other hand.Input energy to reaction chamber, flow rate of contaminated air, and concentration of tolue
It is a widely spread misunderstanding that highly insulated buildings perform poorly with respect to theindoor environment.
Mould can cause allergic, toxic or infectious reactions (Bardana 2003).
