LoginValidations of implicit large eddy simulation were carried about two wind tunnel studies, which are flow and dispersion measurements around the building.
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.
Utilizing building performance feedback as part of the preliminary design process can suggest environmentally responsive strategies and inform subsequent architectural development.
This study investigates the effect of modeling the slatted floor as porous media on prediction of ammonia emissions and airflow patterns.
In case of an accidental release of indoor airborne pollutants, it is critical to know information of the pollutant sources.
Building performance simulation has been utilised for the investigation of thermal comfort and airflow within a naturally ventilated, self-sufficient house in a bushfire prone area.
Contamination distributions were calculated and evaluated by contamination area ratio at respiration height for actual smoking rooms. As a result, 1) Dust contamination area ratio is about 20 % for required ventilation volume by Guidelines.
Residential and commercial buildings use nearly 75% of the overall electrical energy in the U.S., and the amount of renewable energy in the grid keeps increasing.
The paper presents a laboratory investigation about cork-cement mixtures designed for building applications. Samples are prepared by mixing cork aggregates, sand, cement and water.
Minimum levels of attic ventilation have been required by residential building codes in the United States for years, but the precise attic temperature reductions of “poking holes in the roof” and corresponding energy impacts have rarely been robus
Most controllers in Heating, Ventilation and Airconditioning (HVAC) applications remain the Proportional-Integral (PI) type.
Application of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) toward performance-based building design has a long tradition. Increasingly, CFD tools are also being applied to address large-scale urban climatic questions.
The exponential increase of the cooling demand in buildings obliges to find alternatives to the high electricity consumption with air conditioning systems. This work investigates a new cooling system based on evaporation.
Building performance simulation has the potential to quantitatively evaluate design alternatives and various energy conservation measures for retrofit projects.
This paper discusses the impact of thermal zone modeling on the thermal comfort prediction during the early design of naturally ventilated buildings within four Brazilian cities.
In the absence of thermal comfort standards in India, architects and designers have no choice, except to provide air conditioning to meet thermal comfort criteria for achieving green building rating for their projects and thus end up using more en
The paper presents a numerical methodology to assess wind pedestrian comfort and natural ventilation in urban areas. UrbaWind, an automatic computational fluid dynamics code, is improved to model the wind in dense urban environments.
In this paper, possibilities of electric peak load reductions in the MENA-Region, using a photovoltaic powered air conditioning system for residential buildings, are considered.
