LoginIn this study, the effect of the thermal mass and thermal insulation of a ventilated building onthe indoor environment is investigated. A simplified model of the thermal interaction between a building structure and the interior is developed.
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.
The paper deals with on-site measurements of energy benefits resulting from exploitation of double-skin solar energy façade for pre-heating of ventilating air.
This study is concerned with the impact of indoor environment on the local National health in airconditioned spaces. The present study is carried out in different applications in Egypt. Two differentmethods are utilized in the present study.
This paper presents the results of a study on strategies for bedroom air conditioning in HongKong, a typical subtropical city.
The problem of achieving good air quality in dwellings whilst saving energy has led to a number of solutions many involving the use of fan power.
From the beginning of 2006 all new buildings (residential, commercial, industrial etc.) must have an energy declaration based on the calculated energy performance of the building, including HVAC and lighting systems.
A comprehensive modelling of a compact double skin facade equipped with a venetian blind is proposed here.
One of the main arguments supporting the application of the natural ventilation is the reduction inenergy consumption and capacity of the HVAC system.
This paper studies in three-dimension the coupled convective and radiative heat transfer rate from awindow surface with adjacent venetian blind using a commercial CFD code.
The paper describes the use of a synthesis in thermal network models. Simulation methods areusually based on an analysis when the optimal solution is found by means of iteration process.
Floor-supply air-conditioning system with Coanda effect is introduced to a theater hall. This system supplies air from floor diffusers set beneath the seat backrest in front of occupants.
We describe the flow in an underfloor plenum. We show that the geometry of the plenum causes the flow to exhibit two-dimensional dynamics and to develop flow patterns that are determined by the inlets of the underfloor into the plenum void.
In this work a numerical model, that simulates the buildings thermal response and evaluates theinternal air quality in transient conditions, is validated and used.
This paper deals with how to visibly render the thermal climate in the design and presentationtools used by different participants in the building process.
This paper reports experimental measurements on the diffusion of confluent jets thatform a wall jet. The experiments were carried out at a fixed air flow rate and fixed temperaturedifference between the supply and room air in the cooling mode.
Arthur Rosenfeld cited a study showing that the huge link between IAQ and productivity in anoffice building and the serious initiative to improve indoor air quality will have a tremendous return.
We conducted an on-site test of air-conditioning systems in a hotel in Changsha, Hunan, China in the summer of 2003.
Multiple regression analysis is used to predict the mean room velocity and determine the most influencing parameters on the velocity.
Underfloor air distribution (UFAD) strategy is gaining popularity during the last years, howeverresearches about the performance of such systems still need to be deepened.One of the appreciated features of this technology is the use of an underflo
This research was to assess the performance of air infiltration, the corresponding energy consumption, indoor contaminant level for residential buildings in Harbin, a typical city in the severe cold region of China.
