LoginBibliographic 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 OM solar system is one of various passive systems. As is in the general passive system, the technique in the OM solar system works with the designing and architectural space as a unity.
Pilot houses with solar air heating systems were and are being erected in Hungary by the ''THERMO Ltd." Company.
In the discussion on practice-oriented measures to reduce the CO2 emission, one measure most demanded is the development of zero heating energy houses.
This paper deals with the relationship between the characteristics of ventilation and the architectural features on three types of Japanese houses representative of the recent historical evolution in the building of dwellings: a traditional well v
Planted circumstances and wind break techniques in the Isles of the East China sea. | 1997 | English
In this paper the authors describe in detail the planted circumstances with wind-break effects developed in the isles of Tonaki and Aguni.
The utilization of Hybrid Solar Systems in buildings allowed a rational use of energy required to obtain proper comfort conditions inside the building itself.
The influence of wind is an important part of the bioclimatic town planning criteria.
Although most new houses in the Hokuriku region are equipped with air conditioners, some people living in farmhouses still feel that cross ventilation is more desirable. Comparative measurements were made between a new house and a farmhouse.
As the sensible heat gain or cooling load are decreased by using thick thermal insulation in a building, the need for dehumidification increases. Especially in Kushiro, it is rather cool and humid in summer because of its foggy weather.
In order to design an environment-conscious house, it is desirable for summer indoor environment, to re-examine thermal conditions warmer than thermal comfort. The role of air movement is important, as it reduces the magnitude of discomfort.
Thick insulation in buildings offers great potential not only for decreasing cooling load but also for changing its calculation method, and for changing system design, operation or control of the system and the thermal environment of the room.
Applicability of CFD simulation to designing passive architectures was investigated using a passive solar room with a Trombe wall system inside it.
This paper presents a method for the dynamic numerical analysis in calculating the thermal environment in the atrium space of an institution for the elderly. The analysis is carried out and using BASIC.
