LoginThis paper describes the measurements and evaluation of the indoor thermal environments in a large domed stadium. This stadium was built mainly for professional baseball games, but it has a lot of other purposes.
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.
This paper provides a theoretical error analysis of common airflow measurement and control techniques to maintain minimum outside air intake rates in variable air volume (VA V) systems.
Relations between indoor neutral temperatures and outdoor temperatures are currently proposed as an "adaptive standard" to supplement ASHRAE Standard 55-1992. They rest on the 1998 ASHRAE database.
A series of experiments was carried out to study the effect of temperature and humidity on the perception of indoor air quality.
Angle factors between a human body and rectangular planes are calculated by a numerical model.
High outdoor ventilation air requirements can lead to significant increases in building energy use, thermal discomfort, indoor air quality problems, and litigation.
A building energy management system (BEMS) generally monitors and manages energy usage in commercial buildings.
Part I of this paper discussed the theoretical considerations of creating a nonlinear black box model.
A genetic algorithm technique is used to design an HVAC air duct system with minimum life-cycle cost.
Different types of air-conditioning systems, including constant-air-volume air systems, variable-air-volume air systems, fan coil systems, other terminal unit systems, induction units, etc., are described in this paper.
This paper provides an overview of inpatient bedroom and support space criteria based on clinical requirements of care. Space requirements are described functionally as they relate to the level of care required or the acuity of the patient.
According to published statistical data, most TB contamination occurs from unknown and unsuspected TB carriers.
ASHRAE Standard 62.2P is being proposed to address residential ventilation issues. As housing, especially new housing, gets more airtight and better insulated, it has become clear that many homes are under-ventilated.
A lab house constructed in Pittsburgh has been used as a site for the comparative evaluation of several ventilation systems.
