LoginA framework entitled Evolutionary Energy Performance Feedback for Design (EEPFD) was developed to mobilize the potential of multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) towards solving current obstacles between design and energy performance feedbac
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.
Smart homes and Ambient Intelligence Environments require embedded technologies able to work and think jointly.
Sensitivity analyses on the definition of wind driven natural ventilation potential | 2013 | English
This paper presents helical heat exchangers for geothermal use.
This study is focused on the impact of shading control and thermostat set point control on daylighting metrics, glare evaluation and energy consumption for perimeter office spaces (zones around perimeter).
Many European countries assess the heating and cooling needs of buildings using the quasi-steady state calculation method described in EN ISO 13790.
Simulating a building to predict its performance over the course of a full year requires an accurate repre-sentation of the stable and representative weather pat-terns of a location, i.e. a weather file.
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 winter operation of ground-source heat pumps is expected to lead to drift phenomena in the zones surrounding the vertical ground heat exchangers. A moving aquifer tends to oppose the thermal drift, due to the advection groundwater phenomena.
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.
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.
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.
This paper, which is an extension of previous studies, presents the modeling of an existing central cooling plant by using the EnergyPlus program.
