LoginAn automotive part manufacturing plant in Southern Italy, which has just recently been modernized and extended, offers an interesting panorama of innovative cost-effective solutions for ventilating, air-conditioning and process cooling.
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.
Generally, a CHP plant coupled with district heating is considered more efficient than traditional local heating systems from an economic and environmental point of view.This is certainly true for municipal waste CHP plants but for plants fuelled
El estudio que se está llevando a cabo, surge de la inquietud provocada en varios usuarios de diferentes programas de simulación energética ante la inminente aprobación del nuevo Código Técnico de la Edificación, en el que se establece un programa
Nella ventilazione a dislocamento, l’aria fresca e a bassa velocità è immessa direttamente nella zona occupata a livello del pavimento; essa quindi si muove verso l’alto per effetto delle forze di galleggiamento alimentate dai pennacchi termici al
BEST Dept. has been involved with Regione Sicilia in a research work of the UE MéRITE program for the development of integrated territorial management experiences in pilot areas.
Lo sviluppo di metodologie per la certificazione energetica degli edifici è in atto con diverse modalità negli Stati Membri della Comunità Europea alla luce di quanto stabilito dalla Direttiva Europea 2002/91/EC, del 16 Dicembre 2002 sul rendiment
La tendencia en las nuevas normativas energéticas de todos los países pasa por transformar requerimientos prescriptivos en prestacionales, es decir, en lugar de limitar el comportamiento de cada elemento o del edificio en su conjunto, con una seri
Design requires the knowledge of what is to be achieved and how is wanted to be achieved.
Enero del 2006 es la fecha para la entrada en vigor de la Directiva europea de eficiencia energética en los edificios fecha que puede aplazarse hasta el 2009 para algunos de sus requerimientos bajo ciertas condiciones.
This paper provides experimental results derived through field testing of a partial load solar energized cooling system in Madrid during the summer period of 2003.
This paper deals with the relevance of Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) results confronted to measurements carried out in real environment. Experimental tests have been undertaken in a room and in a kitchen of an experimental house.
The study of a hotel to be built under the mild climate of Madeira Island, Portugal, is presented. The program DOE-2.1E was used for the thermal load simulation, using as climatic input a Typical Year file constructed for this case.
This article presents the study done on an individual house located in Macon, France.
In France, for historical and demographic reasons, many educational buildings must be retrofitted in the next years.However, various studies showed that measurements of energy savings, and improvement of comfort, are rarely applied in the retrofit
Local control of ventilation in large buildings is considered to be a main issue in energy savings regarding the huge energy losses that are usually induced by such large volumes.
In this paper the performance of a desiccant cooling system was evaluated. The system comprises a desiccant wheel in tandem with a thermal wheel with evaporative coolers in both air supply and return air streams before the thermal wheel.
The aim of this work is to observe the flow reversal that can appear at the time of interaction of hot and cold boundary layers in transient mixed convection in a vertical pipe.The instationary character of the flow is due to the application at th
Several high schools in the south east of France are subject to a major work of renovation. These works need to take into account the problem of summer comfort for a better well-being and intellectual performance of students.
A model of Venetian blind associated simple or a double glazing is proposed in this article.
