LoginThis paper presents measured thermal comfort data for a hybrid dedicated outdoor air (DOAS) ceiling radiant cooling panel (CRCP) system.
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, 24 healthy non-sensitive persons were tested to analyse the respiratory effects caused by exposures to office dust.
That research is based on the assumption that there are differences among normal subjects as to their vulnerability to stress-related symptoms to health/illnessThe study aims at increasing the understanding of SBS complaints in relation to pers
This paper describes characteristics of statistical distributions for concentrations of 17 VOCs and 11 aldehydes in homes in Japan.
Endotoxin is one of the most powerful inflammatory mediators known.
This study aims at demonstrating that semi-quantitative dampness/mold exposure indices can predict existence of excessive building-respiratory symptoms and diseases.
Sick syndrome episodes were reported by the employees of Athens Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). In this study recent indoor air quality measurements made in ATCT are presented and discussed.
The main aim of that study is to assess the status of natural ventilation in a typical four-room HDB (Housing and Development Board) flat in Singapore using scaled model in the wind tunnel and also to develop an effective passive or active sta
A PMV (predicted mean vote) index is often adopted to assess the thermal comfort conditions of thermal moderate environments, but to prevent problems when monitoring or controlling HVAC equipment a fuzzy adaptive controller has been introduced.
Multi-storey buildings with double-skin facade are not numerous and there is little experience of their behaviour in operation.In this study the authors analyze the impact of the double-skin orientation, the impact of the wind orientation, and the
In a VAV system, it is possible to minimize the energy use with an optimal supply air temperature. The theory for such a device is presented.
The design of ventilation performance of air-conditioning systems in residential buildings is not quite established.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the possibility of ensuring an indoor climate within an acceptable range thanks to the use of large exposed massive wood surfaces.
The method of exposure prediction using the scales of accessibility of supplied air (ASA) and the scales of accessibility of contaminant source (ACS) is presented in this paper.
For that study , three german buildings with double facades have been monitored for at least one year in order to evaluate their energetic performance.
In this paper the authors present the results of the European AIRLESS programme whose aim was to identify the pollution sources in air-handling units, and then avoid or eliminate this pollution.
For that study, 12 office rooms of a "Solar Optimised Building" in Germany have been monitored. The data have been evaluated by a new method for analysis that deals with short and long term measurements and with building simulation.
This paper presents an extensive field survey conducted in residential naturally ventilated buildings in Indonesia.
The use of a combined methodology of wind tunnel experiments and CFD simulations in order to study the potential of using active stack to enhance natural ventilation in residential apartments in Singapore is demonstrated in this paper.
