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.

The research developed maximum chiller cooling capacity predicting equations with building shape factor and the ENVLOAD index which is now the building envelope energy conservation design control factor in Taiwan.
Kuo-Tsang Huang, Hsien-Te Lin
Application of EESLISM for the energy and environmental control system design in the example building is described.
Mitsuhiro Udagawa , Hyunwoo Roh
The requirements for a scaleable energy model for the UK non-domestic building stock are described.. The non-domestic stock is much more heterogeneous than the domestic stock.
Andrew Wright
Presence of volatile organic compounds in indoor air affects human health.
Henrik Karlsson, Angela Sasic Kalagasidis and Carl-Eric Hagentoft
The evaluation and analysis of available simulation tools suggests a thorough research methodology for creating a new front-end interface that solves current usage problems.
Sonia Punjabi and Valerian Miranda
For a quick and reliable energy evaluation of houses, one needs simple energy analysis software.
Anil Parekh
Regression equations can be used for predicting temperature and relative humidity in single-zone buildings.
Roberto Z. Freire, Gustavo H. C. Oliveira and Nathan Mendes
An efficient urban energy system could be a highly diverse and well-integrated structure of buildings and systems.

The objective of this paper is to examine different means of producing domestic hot water (DHW) in Zero net energy homes (ZNEH).
Affouda-Léon Biaou, Michel Bernier
This paper deals with the dynamical modelling of a solar evacuated tube collector under variable weather conditions. After describing the mathematical model, the paper presents elements of validation.
Jean Philippe Praene, François Garde, Franck Lucas
This paper describes a case study to estimate the time and effort needed by novice designers to computationally evaluate the performance of building designs.
Ardeshir Mahdavi
This paper presents a simulation-assisted daylightresponsive illumination control system.
Ardeshir Mahdavi, Bojana Spasojević, and Klaus A. Brunner
It is well recognised that validation of dynamic building simulation programs is a long-term complex task.
Strachan P A, Kokogiannakis G and Macdonald I A
The EnerGuide for Houses (EGH) database is a management information tool and central depository for tracking residential energy evaluations and measuring benefits from the energy evaluations delivered across Canada.
Sylvain Blais, Anil Parekh
This paper deals with the issue of using micro- Combined Heating and Power plants (mCHP) in high-performance houses in terms of energy conservation and cost savings.
Benoit Sicre , Andreas Bühring, Bernd Platzer
Highly glazed buildings are often considered to be airy, light and transparent with more access to daylight than traditional buildings, but their energy efficiency is often questioned.
Harris Poirazis, Ake Blomsterberg
To have a proper energy management in buildings, it is necessary to evaluate its HVAC system. To properly compare operating strategies and solve possible problems, one needs to reproduce the building and its HVAC system behavior under real life co
Marco Sangiorgi, Jesús Maellas and Gastón Sanglier
The paper deals with two construction details and discusses the opportunities and limits of their computer aided building simulation. Both details occur in the area of building renovation and modernization.
Günter Konieczny, Roman Rabenseifer
The building simulation tool Domus has been recently renamed as PowerDomus for whole-building hygrothermal and energy simulation.
Nathan Mendes, Ricardo C.L.F. Oliveira and Gerson Henrique dos Santos
Numerous problems can occur for an investigator of larger datasets, e.g.
Thomas Olofsson, Jan-Ulric Sjögren and Staffan Andersson
