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.
Two specific areas are addressed: (1) The necessity for effective estimates of infiltration rates in buildings; and (2) The dependence of vapor compression air conditioning systems on refrigerant charge.
PASSPORT Plus is a new building thermal simulation tool, developed in the framework of PASCOOL.
Europe. Numerous studies have been devoted to the analysis of the physical phenomena related to natural ventilation. These phenomena are very complex and our degree of understanding them often leaves a lot to be desired.
Ventilating a fire compartment during operational fire fighting procedures may have unpredictable consequences.
A new language called Modelica TM for physical modeling is developed in an international effort. The main objective is to make it easy to exchange models and model libraries.
It is demonstrated how Modelica™ is used in an application to develop models that are useful when solving real problems.
The paper deals with simulation of the heat exchanger and model evaluation. There are presented partial differential equations of heat exchanger model, which assume liquid mediums.
