LoginSome guidelines for a method devoted to the evaluation of different physical characteristics of building facades, equipped with glazed surfaces, are proposed.
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.
Energy consumption in building accounts for 30 percent of all the energy consumption of external envelope takes an important part.
Indoor air humidity is an extremely important environmental parameter that can significantly affect the energy consumption of a building, its structure, the chemical emissions from building materials, as well as occupants' comfort and health.
This paper explores the problems about the layout of smoke emission for inside hallways of high-rise buildings and underground garages, the selection of smoke emission fans and fire proof valves for basement air feed systems.
The determination of building insulation levels is an indispensable part of low-energy residential building design.
This paper justifies the need for an integrated approach to building performance assessment and provides examples of the technical appraisals that may then be enabled.
As part of IEA Annex 35 "Hybrid Ventilation in New and Retrofitted Office Buildings" a number of pilot study buildings are monitored for demonstration of hybrid ventilation performance.
This paper analyses buoyancy-driven natural ventilation assisted or opposed by winds in a building with thermal stratification.
Decision about the use of natural, mechanical or hybrid ventilation system in a building should be taken at the early stages of the building design.
Based on measured wall temperatures made by an infrared camera the flow and temperature fields were computed for an atrium. The nature of this atrium is a large enclosure inside a school building surrounded by halls and classrooms.
The aim of this paper is to verify the applicability of coupling thermal and multizonal simulation codes to the study of hybrid ventilated buildings.
A numerical study was carried out to gain an understanding of the ventilation performance of solar chimneys with uniform heat flux from both walls.
The substance of AC fresh air control is that fully utilises outdoor fresh air according to enthalpy of outdoor air, so achieves the goal of energy saving and improving indoor quality.
A one-dimensional unsteady flow model with a moving pollutant source is used for calculating airflow velocity and pollutant distribution inside the single-track railway tunnel when a train passes through it.
Thermal comfort field studies were conducted in three different sessions (morning, afternoon and night) of the day to evaluate the actual thermal comfort perception of the occupants.
In accordance with the regular and irregular variation principle of high-rise building wind pressure with the variation of time, wind direction proposed in associated reference and high-rise building around flow aerodynamic characteristic.
This paper founds the procedures of standard summer meteorological parameters in hot summer and cold winter region, determines the hourly meteorological model of dry and wet temperature change for sunny days, cloudy and rainy days, and builds up C
On the bases of the definitions of air conditioning period, dehumidifying period and heating period, this paper puts forward to the exchanging conditions and psychometric process of ventilation system in residences.
Ventilation effectiveness is an important means to describe and evaluate the performance of a ventilation system.
A large part of the housing stock in the Netherlands is ventilated badly. Exhaust systems do not work according to building standards. Bad design, bad maintenance and deterioration give a reduction in exhaust volumes of more than 50 %.
