LoginWith increasing demands for electric power in large commercial buildings the problem of magnetic interference to sensitive equipment has increased. However, low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic interference is not generally addressed in the design
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.
In this work, the results obtained during the monitoring of a building together with the adjustment curves achieved with the numeric simulation program SIMEDIF are presented.
The measured thermal behavior of a massive building that uses passive techniques for indoor air conditioning is presented. The building thermal transient behavior was simulated with SIMEDIF code.
In the last seven years, a method has been developed to analyse building energy performance using simulation, in Brazil.
The Energy and Environmental Prediction (EEP) model is an environmental auditing and decision making tool for cities, to be used by planners and others in pursuit of sustainable development.
This paper describes the development and validation of a simulation model for Advanced Integrated Mechanical Systems (AIMS) destined for residential applications.
The important variation of the urban morphology has direct effects on the disparity of the outdoor climates, as well as indoor climates.
We give an overview of how windows are modeled in the EnergyPlus whole-building energy simulation program. Important features include layer-by-layer input of custom glazing, ability to accept spectral or spectral-averaged glass optical properties,
Advances in psychoacoustics through the years, have made it possible to evaluate the acoustical quality of a room, based on several numerical parameters that have been developed.
The present work deals with the determination of a mathematical correlation for conductivity in the fully water-saturated state in terms of dry-basis conductivity and porosity.
This paper presents the multiple-view performance assessment of an existing office building undertaken with an integrated application.
This paper discusses the first full version of IDEA-l, a new natural-lighting design tool for the early stages of the architectural design process.
Most photovoltaic (PV) facades are built as curtain facades in front of thermally insulated buildings with air ducts in between.
Solar radiation induced convection occurs quite often in glazed spaces. In spite of that the impact of solar radiation to airflow inside rooms and buildings is not usually taken into account when airflow patterns are studied.
In the paper, based on MS Thesis by Richtr, 2000, the authors describe CFD modeling of a computer room with regard to thermal comfort of workers.
Windows strongly influence the energy performances of buildings, especially in the new hugely glazed constructions.
This paper presents experimental data for the temperature stratification established within a full-scale enclosure, for the natural displacement ventilation flow driven by a source of buoyancy at floor level within the space with air as the workin
On the potential of computationally renderes scenes for lighting quality evaluation | 2001 | English
This paper describes an empirical study that was conducted to determine whether and to what extent subjective evaluation of lighting in architectural spaces can be reproduced using computationally rendered images of such spaces.
A methodology for the optimal operation of a HVAC system with a thermal storage water tank has been proposed by one of the authors1).
