LoginFor that study, two independent field experiments were carried out in shool classrooms. The air temperature was modified either by operating or idling split cooling units installed in that aim.
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.
For that study, two independent field experiments were carried out in mechanically ventilated shool classrooms receiving 100 % outdoor air. Outdoor air supply rate and filter condition were manipulated to modify IAQ.
For that study, the Wells-Riley equation for modelling airborne infection in indoor environments is incorporated into a SEIR epidemic model - with a short incubation period - to simulate the transmission dynamics of airborne infectious diseases in
On a prototype system for local air-conditioning named personal microclimate system (PERMICS), ventilation effectiveness was measured.
For that study, the determination of concentration of nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde has been carried out in 96 homes in Quebec city.
Fire and smoke movement quantitative data cannot be obtained directly from a building fire accident. To obtain a great deal of information for fire study, computational methods are used.
The aim of this paper is to present parameters of a new design code, which is intended to control the indoor air environment for sports buildings in China.
The aim of that paper was to provide input data to design and energy performance calculations of buildings and ventilation, heating, cooling and lighting systems.
This paper presents a comparison of CFD predictions, using the large eddy simulation model (LES), with experimental data obtained with the particle image velocimetry technique (PIV).
A numerical study has been done to determine the effect of the perimeter heating load on the air diffusion performance iindex (ADPI) of an air diffuser for different air flow rates and different heating loads.
This article deals with the perception of locally applied airflow from personalized ventilation air terminal devices by tropically acclimatized people.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive(EPBD) lays down requirements as regards:- the general framework for a methodology ofcalculation of the integrated energy performanceof buildings;- the application of minimum requirements onthe energy p
The increase of living standards in buildings andhigh summer maximum air-temperature valuesduring the last years have increased the installationof A/C in buildings.
Art does never just copy nature. There existsalways a transcendental added value due to theintervention of the artist himself. In some formsof art, such as in painting or sculpture this ismore obvious.
In this paper we are introducing the first versionof COMFORT-EX, a computational tool, with afriendly interface, developed in Java languageand visible from any computer with an Internetbrowser.
In urban areas, main air flows from prevailing winds are strongly modified, depending on constructions’ morphology and urban microclimate’s effects.
In the framework of the European program of»Polis", an extensive network of 27 selfregistering stations, which were recording air temperatures inside the urban environment of the city of Athens for a time period of two years, from August 1996 unti
In this work, the heat island effect is studied forthe coastal town of Patras. For this purpose, aset of 13 data loggers, have been placed, in chosenrepresentative locations, to monitor ambientair temperature variations.
Linking artificial lighting with daylight requiresthe presence of controls and censors for eachroom. Apart from the energy saving producedthough, this can have significant initial cost implicationsfor the user.
The energy consumption matter for the buildingsector has come up again urgently looking forstandards, measures, policies and best practices.That is because building sector have direct impactboth on energy consumption and environment(cooling, heati
