An introduction to the Internet which illustrates the range of information available and shows hoe in a short time it is possible to become connected and operational on the Internet. The services offered include e-mail, the ability to tap into vast sources of data, and the opportunity to establish one s own information databases for either general or restricted access. Energy efficiency related homepages include the US DOE CADDET and various IEA programmes and annexes.
The material presented in this paper highlights some aspects of""two research projects, The control of natural ventilation , and Night cooling strategies . The research has led to the development of generic control strategies. These have evolved from consideration of the control strategies used in naturally ventilated buildings utilising Building Management Systems (BMS) control together with experience obtained from monitoring three naturally ventilated buildings. The site monitoring has also led to recommendations being provided for commissioning and fine tuning procedures.
The specialists of IEA BCS Annex 26 have a clear picture of designer needs. The project objectives have not changes, but emphasis will now be place on the most relevant problems related to air motion, temperature distribution, and energy use. The development of viable solutions by expert teams from twelve countries is primarily based on investigations in existing case-study buildings. Researchers have started to demonstrate advanced experimental and numerical methods at these large enclosures ranging from atria to industrial halls.
