LoginAfter a literature review about zonal models, we have developed a simplified approach to simulate buoyancy-driven flow in rooms.
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.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
This report gives guidance for reducing the presence of radon in new dwellings, and hence reducing the risk to occupants of exposure to radon. Interim guidance was first issued by the Department of the Environment in June 19881.
We present a simple model to calculate the energy loss by free cooling at night.
The paper outlines the design concept of the condensing boiler and its application in domestic heating systems and discusses the energy savings, investment opportunities and other benefits that can be realised.
Modelling techniques were used to verify the success of a "minimal duct" ventilation system proposed for an underground carpark in a prestigious project in Singapore. The procedure to determine the various model scaling parameters, to select the a
During recent years, energy consumption of buildings for cooling purposes has significantly increased.
