LoginThis paper deals with the energy man-agement problem of a railway station. This problem comes out from the VEGEP project whose goal is to prove the benefit of an energy manager in railway sta-tions.
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.
In the framework of the MEGAPICS project “method toward guarantee of solar cooling and heating system”, a simplified pre-design tool for designer and planner has been elaborated.
Natural ventilation in building is a common way to ensure indoor air quality, thermal comfort in summer and reduce energy consumption due to air conditioning.
In this paper, dynamic simulation software (in this case, DesignBuilder) has been used to model and to simulate a typical 1960s UK social housing in order to examine the impact of retrofit, occupant behaviour and user lifestyle on energy pattern.
Context: The case study presented here was carried out to assist the designers in making a decision about the use of chilled ceiling panels coupled with an air handling unit in a data center with limited usable ceiling area.
In this paper, the thermal behaviour of a ventilated window is studied. The particularity of this system is the existence of an airflow passing between the glasses of a triple glazing.
This paper describes the results of monitoring cam-paigns of a solar driven adsorption air-conditioning system. The energy performance figures of the sys-tem are computed and the adsorption chiller is mod-elled also based on measurement.
As simulation researchers in the field of performance-driven architecture, we mainly describe in this paper an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) especially developed for eco-performance and real-time creative design simulations, associated with
This study reviews typical assumptions for days of operation, sub-space type receptacle and other unregulated process loads, and occupancy rates to propose a risk evaluation for energy simulation accuracy of office buildings.
The paper documents an ongoing study in the use of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) as a source of feedback in the early stages of architectural design.
