LoginStates that quite simple formulae can be used for humid air, but that this is not the case for humid temperature. Gives an overview of the iterative method to be used in this case.
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.
Explains the importance of taking into account several parameters, one of which being the effect of the installation of the ventilator into the circuit, when analysing ventilator energy consumption.
In France, the performance of ventilation systems in existing buildings is poorly understood today and rarely checked.
Overview of ventilation strategy for a theatre building.
Outlines the Venturie effect for air flow in buildings.
An update on the situation for naturally ventilating garages for motor vehicles.
Discusses commercial Scandinavian balanced ventilation.
Flow and heat transfer calculations have been operated in a typical office room equipped with a displacement ventilation and a chilled ceiling system. Results show quasi-periodic flow when the values of internal thermal loads are high.
Describes the testing methods of filters intended to be used in ventilation systems, and their classification according to their performance.
The research in this thesis aims to provide information about the uncertainty attached to the prediction of thermal comfort in buildings, in the context of the specific case of a naturally ventilated office building.
This thesis was based on numerous experiments operated in a full-size cell in order to study ventilation efficiency and thermal comfort associated with several positions of air inlet and outlet, taking into account different sources of disturbance
The Airinstruct project objective was to understand the thermal performance of ventilated building components, namely ventilated roof, ventilated wall, solar roof and dynamic insulation.
The key objective of Precis was to evaluate the potential of renewable energies, including natural ventilation, in cities by exploring the relationships between urban form and energy/environmental performance.
The objective of PV-cooling project was to develop low electricity consumption cooling systems for dwellings and office building, powered through photovoltaic (PV) electricity.
The Solvent window was developed to improve visual and thermal comfort in sunny conditions. The glazing system realizes the conversion of short wave solar radiation to convective heat and long wave radiation.
The main aim of the Tip-Vent project was to provide a contribution o the creation of improved boundary conditions for the application of mechanical ventilation systems with good levels of performance.
The focus of project Web has been the development of wind enhancement and integration techniques which improve the annual energy yield per installation by concentrating the low to moderate wind speeds (2-5 m/s).
This guide describes the principles of demand controlled ventilation, gives information about the type of buildings where it can be used, and underlines the benefits of such systems with regard to energy consumption.
The thesis deals with human perception of the environment, sick building symptoims and the performance of office work in the indoor environment.
The central subject of this Workshop was the challenge offered by energy performance regulations to find adequate solutions for the integration of innovative technologies in such regulations.
