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.
The objective of this study is to improve the control performance of Ondol heating system in apartment buildings. For this purpose, prevalent control systems and relevant researches are evaluated.
A study of the simulation of the visibility of baseballs flying in the dome stadium | 1999 | English
An evaluation system of the visibility of a ball flying is indispensable for the best architectural design and artificial lighting design of a baseball dome stadium, as it is essential to create a suitable visual environment for both players and s
Several features of heat transfer on enclosing surfaces is discussed including temperature distributions in a room heated by a floor heater.
The typical Korean residential buildings, especially apartment buildings, are furnished with ONDOL – the Korean traditional radiant floor heating system. The buildings are getting more insulated and air tight for heating in hard winter.
A systems approach is developed for predictive operation of HVAC processes in buildings, which is described with an objective function, a state-space model, and a number of constraints.
We developed a PC-software to estimate thermal environment of a residential house. To make the software practical for non-technical people, the easiness of operation was our main interest in this development.
In multizone models used to predict thermal comportment of buildings and inside air quality, representation of the airflow through large vertical openings is very important.
An absorption chiller model is developed for HVACSIM+(J). The model simulates dynamic characteristics of the chiller, such as dynamic trends of chiller temperatures and COP.
This paper presents a feasibility study of a fresh air load reduction system by using an underground double floor space. The system was introduced into a real building (Aichi Children’s Center in Japan) and was examined by the field measurement.
This paper presents a new, accelerated method based on GD\OLJKWFRHIILFLHQWV according to Tregenza [1] to calculate cumulative annual indoor illuminance distributions.
A study was performed on a method to evaluate performance of window system necessary to satisfactorily maintain the window side radiation environment in a glass building.
The UC Berkeley Multinode Comfort Model is based on the Stolwijk model of human thermal regulation but includes several significant improvements.
Object-oriented or modular simulation methods represent a concrete alternative to present monolithic building simulation technology.
Coupled heat and moisture transfer equations which describe temperature and moisture fields in the building walls, the earth ground and so on are nonlinear.
New thermodynamic energy “water potential” based on the chemical potential of a component of mixture gases is defined as the driving force of gaseous phase water flux.
This paper describes use of building energy performance modelling and simulation in design process at the early conceptual level of architectural design.
Typical Meteorological Years obtained from observed meteorological records have become the de facto data source when evaluating thermal performance of buildings.
The premise underlying this work is that introducing uncertainty considerations into simulation will facilitate risk assessment and that this, in turn, will help to improve designer confidence in simulation. Sources of uncertainty abound in buildi
This paper concerns reasons - and solutions – for the time lag in the uptake and use of building simulation in the Czech Republic relative to many other countries. Following a brief introduction, several barriers to the use of simulation are ident
