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 a simple all-weather sky radiance model (diffuse component).
The indoor thermal comfort and energy efficiency are the main design criteria for modern home energy systems (HES).
In order to handle a case of pollutant dispersion in an urban environment Computational Fluid Dynam-ics (CFD) emerges as a fast and flexible method.
One of the key responses of the UK Government to the European Energy Performance Building Directive EPBD2002 has been the introduction and refinement of an energy efficiency compliance tool for domestic dwellings, the Standard Assessment Procedure
This paper describes the development of a new tool called hdrscope that enables users to perform qualitative and quantitative lighting analysis via per-pixel methods.
Commonly provided HVAC system simulation tools are not necessarily satisfactory for the investigation of operational improvement and renovation planning because the effectiveness of using a large amount of measurement data accumulated in a Buildin
This paper presents the development of an optimization methodology for selecting the lowest monetary cost combinations of building technologies to meet set operational energy reduction targets.
Energy performance of a university building is mod-eled and compared to the actual measured perfor-mance of the building. Two energy models are devel-oped in this work: design model and as-built model.
The aim of this study is to check the accuracy of a nodal model to predict correctly the flow fields involved inside a building by wind-induced pressure.
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.
Thermal bridging is a problem that arises from using a thermosyphon. It is used as a passive part of the building envelope in south facing walls. A solution is proposed and investigated in this paper.
