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.
The present work reports an experimental procedure designed to verify a particular solution for the distri-bution of artificial light sources.
The majority of numerical studies of room airflow using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are conducted with the steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach.
The European energy policies about climate and energy packages, known as the “20-20-20” targets, define ambitious, but achievable, national energy requirements.
This paper deals with the global model based antic-ipative energy management system adapted for the CANOPEA building prototype proposed by the team Rhˆone-Alpes for the Solar Decathlon Europe con-test.
This paper proposes a modeling and analysis convention for a side- and/or toplit space called the ‘reference office’.
Smart homes and Ambient Intelligence Environments require embedded technologies able to work and think jointly.
Optimizing the operations of a HVAC system in response to the dynamic loads and varying weather conditions throughout a year can result in substantial energy savings.
This investigation proposed a two-step model to inversely identify release location and temporal rate profile of an indoor pollutant source in an arbitrary release form.
Due to the development of energy performance contracting and the needs for peak electric demand reduction, the interest for optimal building control is renewed.
Hygrothermal behaviour of a hemp concrete wall: experimental and numerical approach | 2013 | English
This paper examines how calibration performs under different levels of uncertainty in model input data. It specifically assesses the efficacy of Bayesian calibration to enhance the reliability of EnergyPlus models.
In the frame of a research project, the energy production for a residential unit including its mobility by micro-CHP was simulated in detail.
In existing buildings, monitored data can support the process of simulation model calibration and validation. Such calibrated models could be effectively applied in building management and systems operation processes.
Heating and cooling load estimation is based on the heat balance method. Although this method has strong physical basis, it yields an acausal system when the heat capacity of the indoor space is non-negligible.
Moisture transfer in porous construction materials car-ries many causes for their degradation: mould devel-opment and freeze-thaw damage are favoured by the accumulation of water, and chemicals such as chlo-ride ions and carbon dioxide may acceler
This paper proposes to apply the celebrated Proper Or-thogonal Decomposition (POD) approach in order to obtain a short-term control model for the temperature dynamics of the borehole system.
Many European countries assess the heating and cooling needs of buildings using the quasi-steady state calculation method described in EN ISO 13790.
