LoginConcerning practical water network section, change in local resistance factor is result of any kind of valve closings or openings.
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 describes an improved multipyranometer array (MPA) for the continuous measurement of direct and diffuse solar radiation.
This paper discusses the data handling and analysis software that has been produced as part of the Texas LoanSTAR program, a $98.6 million revolving loan program for funding energy conservation projects in state agencies.
Noise is the most common cause of complaint to environmental health officers in England and impact noise through ceilings has been identified as being particularly disturbing to occupants of dwellings.
The window coverage of buildings has increased in the past five years. This is especially true for office buildings. The national guidelines (ISO, DIN, CEN) advise designing according to the operative temperature.
Fan coil units are widely used to realise a thermally comfortable indoor climate in rooms. The main components are the heating coil, the control valve and the fan. Hot water flows through the heating coil and heats the passing room air.
This study presents the method, procedure and partial results of commissioning of air conditioning system. The work was carried out with Justus Lispsius building of the Ministry Council of the European Union in Brussels.
A new concept of combustion control system, based on an optical information from the flame spectrum, is applied to a domestic fuel oil boiler.
Most of the dynamic models of hot water boilers are either "reference" models or too simplified ones.
During the last ten years, many HVAC simulation models and calculation tools were developed.
The thermal behavior of large supermarkets is dominated by internal gains. Specifically, refrigerated and frozen food display units area is characterized by cool loads created by commercial cases, which are also moisture trap.
A simplified tool for estimating energy consumption of a whole air conditionned building is presented. It is developped to help design engineers to quickly estimate HVAC solutions till initial design.
This paper aims to advance the knowledge related to the simulation of electrochromic glazing switching control.
Nowadays an air-conditioning design engineer is faced with a challenging task to minimise energy consumption and capital costs. One of the most common solutions is to apply heat recovery device.
An office building with electrical and fan coil heating system is designed to test Building Management System (BMS).
Building owners and design offices wish to be provided with relevant and objective data on the quality of BEMS systems (Building Energy Management Systems) available on the market.
The current French energy conservation regulation for non-residential buildings was elaborated at the end of the 80 s.
Cooled beams are used to provide cooling of the spaces by means of natural or forced convection.
Hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants are environmentaly safe, readily available, non toxic, and have good thermodynamic and transfer properties. However, they are also flammable.
