LoginThis paper offers reference data for the study and design of tall residential buildings with atrium in cold winter and hot summers areas. A questionnaire survey was carried out by the authors, their analysis and results are presented.
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 paper compares different ways to reach a spatial temperature distribution inside living and working spaces for industrial or technological use such as drying and conditioning chambers, sterilizers etc.
Through a simulation study, thermal comfort of occupants and indoor air relative humidity in an office have been assessed.
This paper focused on the evaluation of thermal comfort in 1,000 ton patrol vessel using PMV (predicted maean vote) and PPD (predicted percentage of dissatisfied).
A dynamic airflow compared with a steady airflow seems to intensify people's cold sensation .
For that study both natural and mechanical wind dynamic characteristics were studied through a mass of experiments in different built environments. For the measurement of the fluctuating velocity of airflow a hot wire anemometer was used.
Airflow has an effect on human thermal sensation but the turbulence intensity is another important factor that is studied in this paper.
The evaluation to the influence on indoor heat environment in cold air distribution | 2005 | English
The influence of cold air distribution on indoor heat environment was studied in this paper.
Human perception of air movement depends , on the one hand , on personal factors such as overall thermal sensation and activity level and on the second hand, on environmental factors including air velocity, air velocity fluctuations and air tempe
A field study was conducted in Shangaï, China in 200 and 2001 on thermal comfort in non-air-conditioned buildings. Around 1800 office workers answered a questionnaire , and measurements were made simultaneously.
1 group of 25 persons performed simulated office work for 2 hours in poor environmental conditions with overhead fluorescent lighting, traffic noise, hot temperature, supply air polluted, almost no daylight, and open office noise.The cost to impro
This article explains the requirements of the new European EN 13779 standard (ventilation for non-residential buildings : Performance requirements for ventilation and room air-conditioning systems) compared to the requirements of the previous Germ
The indoor air quality and thermal comfort in a high school classroom in Tianjin, China.was studied in order to provide the students a more comfortable environment.
For that study, a field survey was carried out in a natural ventilation building in Zhenjiang to analyze the relation between indoor environment, thermal comfort and productivity.
This paper gives a sum up of the results of performance testing in an IEQ (indoor environment quality) chamber built in Shanghai Research Institute of Building Science (SRIBS).
For that study, a workstation simulating a typical office desk with desktop-based TAC system was established in a Controlled Environment Chamber.
CFD study on the velocity distribution aroused by desktop personal air-conditioning | 2005 | English
This paper deals with the velocity of the airflow around human body from the outlet of the desktop personal air-conditioning.
Pressure coefficients are considered vital components for the calculation of airflow through opening in building.The experimental investigation consisted of a square wind catcher connected to a model test room.
The investigation and analysis of indoor environment condition of high and middle grade office building is presented in this paper, along with the results
For that study, indoor air pollutants including CO2, CO, MP10, PM2.5 and volatile compounds were measured in four hot spring hotels, (the results are presented.
