LoginThe winter thermal environment and indoor air quality in classrooms has been reported to be very poor in Japan. In this study, an air-conditioned, mechanically ventilated classroom was surveyed.
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.
Exhaust effectiveness indicates how effectively contaminated air can be removed from a space, whereas air change effectiveness indicates how effectively distribute fresh air into the space. It is intended to describe the exhaust effectiveness base
This paper discusses on the indoor thermal environment controlled by the air-conditioners and the ceiling fans under the heating condition.
The climate of South Korea is that of high temperatures and high humidity in the summer season and low temperatures and low humidity in the winter.
To discuss the reduction of formaldehyde and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from engineered flooring, cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL)-formaldehyde (CF) resin and CF/PVAc resin were applied for the maple face of the veneer bonding on plyw
The objective of this research was to develop environment-friendly Hwangtoh binder for application of Hwangtoh for interior wall finishing materials in the housing.
This study was aimed at making a model which predicted olfactory sensation. Firstly, it was conducted the experiment, which odor was exposed to subjects constantly and subjects evaluated odor, to investigate the olfactory adaptation process.
In predicting flow rate of a building ventilated by wind, the orifice equation is usually used. This conventional method cannot work for the building provided with large openings.
A field survey in a natural ventilated school building was carried out.
In Japan where is located at the hot humid climate region, houses have been built considered hot summer life from ancient times. It is said that comfortable and cool feelings by cross-ventilation were more important.
Natural ventilation is an effective method for energy conservation while potentially improving indoor air quality. Furthermore, a window has a significant impact on energy consumption.
In extended laboratory measurements, the combination of new innovative domestic ventilation systems with low temperature heating is investigated, using the advanced EnoTemp measurement equipment.
Recently, Island kitchen is installed in many houses in Japan. In the island kitchen, the cooking range is placed on the island unit, and the center hood is located above the cooking flow in the room.
For patients, the sickroom is a place where they receive medical treatment and also a living space where they spend most of time in a day. Therefore, good indoor air quality and comfort should be kept in sickroom.
In a commercial kitchen, a large ventilation rate is needed and energy consumption can be large because a large amount of effluence of heat and moisture need to be removed.
This study proposes the hybrid ventilation system and its design methods for high-rise buildings.
Tracer gas measurements are an unparalleled means of measuring air recirculation, leakage, and air flow rates in air handling systems [1-5]. However, such measurements are subject to significant measurement uncertainty in field conditions.
Wall heating systems are more preferable heating systems than other conventional systems due to their low temperature operating ranges.
This study tested the feasibility of employing artificial neural network (ANN)-based predictive and adaptive control logics to improve thermal comfort and energy efficiency through a decrease in over- and under-shooting of control variables.
In this study, the concept of the Hybrid air-conditioning system utilizing convection and radiation heat exchange will be suggested.
