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.
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 paper presents the results of a research program that was conducted for ASHRAE by TRC- Environmental Consultants, Inc.
The report summarizes information on indoor pollution by nitrogen dioxide (NO2) In European countries participating in the concerted action "Indoor Air Quality and Its Impact on Man" (COST project 61 3).
This demonstration hosted by the Vale of White Horse District Council at Drayton, Oxfordshire, examined the type of building and occupancy pattern most likely to benefit from the installation of the current range of gas-fired condensing boilers.
This paper summarizes the results of an horizontal study on Passive and Hybrid Cooling for buildings, carried out by the authors, on behalf of the EEC Research Program "Building 2000" /1/.
Without control high solar fractions arc difficult to obtain from Trombe walls, direct solar gains, and rock bins. Integration of all these techniques by control is absolutely necessary.
This papers introduces an emulation system for simulation of the thermal process of building and plant named ESAC (Emulation Set for Air-Conditioning systems) developed in 1984, and a prototype system was presented in 1985 (1), since then a great
Much research has been directed towards development of software environments that allow easy construction of building simulation models of widely varying structure and purpose. For example, TRNSYS has been in use for a number of years.
In thermal simulation codes for buildings, aeraulic transfers are computed either with very simplified models (fixed air distribution) or with sophisticated models (based on the computation of the pressure fields).
In order to create a simulation model of a building, it is usually necessary to make a number of assumptions and/or approximations about the building being simulated.
This paper summarizes the results of numerous building energy analysis and design tool evaluation exercises carried out under lEA Task VIII: Passive and Hybrid Solar Low Energy Buildings.
Today, the development of computer makes the accurate performance analysis of complex system by simulation available for most of the research community, and very soon for every concerned engineer.
