LoginThe objective of this paper is to evaluate the usefulness and the accuracy of an artificial neural network (ANN) as a prediction tool of the wind pressure coefficient (Cp). The ANN is applied to predict the Cp for rectangularbuildings.
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.
This annotated bibliography reviews current ventilation codes and standards for residential buildings in Europe and North America.
Decision makers that have to decide which type of HVAC system that has to be installed in a building, will usually base their decisions on the investment and running costs (including expected maintenance costs) and their perception of the quality
Laboratory ventilation systems are designed to isolate and protect occupants from hazardous fumes and at the same time provide outside air at comfortable conditions.

Several studies have suggested that recommended ventilation rates are not being met within schools.
The important error sources associated with measurements using low velocity thermal anemometersincorporating an omnidirectional velocity sensor (LVTA) are identified and quantified.
Localized ventilation systems typically create highly asymmetric or non-isothermal environments around occupants with significant vertical temperature gradient and highly non-uniform airflow regimes that could be directed toward a segment of the b
Recent work has begun to consider the potential for using freeze flow techniques in Computational Fluid Dynamics programs for carrying out long term simulations of time dependent flows.
Full-scale experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods were used to investigate the velocity and temperature fields in a mechanically ventilated room.
The present study investigates the effect of alteration in the building shape due to some common remodelling practice on the wind pressure differences delta-p for cross-ventilation of a semi-detached low-rise building using Computational Fluid Dyn
Several building simulation programs have been developed for design, analysis and prediction of thedistribution of temperature, airflow and heat transfer between the inside and outside of a building, and/or between different zones of the building.
Age of air is a technique for evaluating ventilation that has been actively used for over 20 years.
In order to provide comfort in a low energy consumption building, it is preferable to use natural ventilation rather than HVAC systems.
Ventilation is essential for the health and comfort of building occupants. It is particularly required to dilute and/or remove pollutants emitted by occupants' metabolism and activities.
In recent years, the quest has been focused on energy efficient building design.
In this study, the function of carbon dioxide as an index of indoor air quality and as a tracer gas to estimate the air exchange rate in naturally ventilated single family houses was investigated.
Knowledge of ventilation rates in dairy buildings is essential for determining indoor air quality and for estimating green house gases and particle emissions.
