LoginIn hot climates a comfortable indoor environment is important. Mechanical fans are often introduced to cool the indoor air. However, it has been found that the airflow from such fans is not comfortable, especially compared with natural wind.
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.
The redispersion factor of microbe-carrying particles, which is the ratio of the concentration of floor-derived microbes in room air to those on a floor surface, was determined, as was the percentage of floor-derived microbes in room air.
This paper reports on an investigation of the natural ventilation and heat gain reduction of a new façade design referred to as the Thai modern façade (TMF).
Air movement in an indoor space may be experienced in very different ways. For persons feeling cool, air movement tends to be perceived as draught, whilst when feeling warm air movement may provide a desired cooling effect.
Background: Residential natural gas cooking burners (NGCBs) can emit substantial quantities of pollutants and they are typically used without venting.
The climate indicators that are currently used in the building energy area, summations of degree-days, are not suitable for net-zero and low energy analysis, because they fail to characterize the building-climate interaction. This paper presents a
Monitoring energy and temperatures in dwellings is becoming commonplace due to the reduction in sens-ing costs.
EnergyPlus model-based predictive control (EPMPC) by using Matlab/Simulink and MLE+ | 2013 | English
The application of building simulation and modelling is becoming more widespread, particularly in the anal-ysis of residential buildings.
The urban microclimate (UMC) can strongly affect the building energy demand.
