LoginIn Korea, there is growing interest in the remodeling of aged apartment buildings. Traditionally, theheating panel in Korea is a wet type floor heating panel that utilizes radiation.
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 study from 2005-2007 has been undertaken of 18 ‘low-energy’ dwellings in Milton Keynes, UK, originally monitored for temperature and energy consumption from 1989-1991. Results were compared under standardized daily external conditions of 5ºC.
In recent years, the control of airborne ions has become one of the important research items of indoorenvironment.
The goal of this work is to investigate the ability of three eddy viscosity turbulent models, the standardk-?, the RNG k-? and the k-?, in predicting the three-dimensional airflow in a room under forcedconvection.
This paper presents the benefit of natural ventilation of a roof cavity to reduce summer thermal loads ofa factory and, therefore, the cooling load due to air-conditioning systems with respect to various climatezones in Japan.
The subject of sustainable energy is occupying public attention in Ireland like never before.
Measurements of indoor air pollutants covering the concentrations of CO2, CO, TVOC’s, PM2.5, and PM10 were performed in 50 residences in Athens.
Growing concern about negative effects on the environment and increasing energy prices stress theimportance of energy efficiency.
A healthy indoor environment with sufficient fresh air is a prerequisite for the well-being and highproductivity of building occupants.
The aim of the work was to investigate the effect of upstream geometry of the nozzle on the turbulence mixing and temperature distribution in still air large enclosed spaces.
The possible benefits of automatic ventilation control of trickle ventilators in dwellings are investigated.
Natural ventilation, as a medium for air exchange between the indoor and outdoor environment, is known for its functions of providing outdoor ‘fresh’ air and removing indoor air pollutants.
This paper attempts to look at the unsteady flow pressure on the blade tip in order to quantify the inception of instability of an axial-flow ventilation fan.
Numerical simulations and computational fluid dynamics can be usefully integrated with architecturalmodelling to provide designers with a powerful single CFD based architectural modelling and designframework.
Ventilation, cooling and air-conditioning contribute significantly to the energy consumption of many existing office buildings, particularly when primary energy factors are taken into account.
Passive cooling techniques such as night time cross ventilation can potentially provide substantial cooling energy savings in warm climates.
In France there is an increasing demand for energy efficient and environmentally friendly buildings of high thermal comfort.
Cross ventilation to reduce cooling energy is one of the most important techniques for maintaining acomfortable indoor environment in hot and mild seasons.
The natural ventilation of a building, flanked by others forming urban canyons and driven by the combined forces of wind and thermal buoyancy, has been studied experimentally at small scale.
This paper is not a technical paper but, instead, focuses on the methods by which information on recent advances in ventilation technology and systems may be transferred to engineers.
