LoginRecently, buildings with thermal energy storage system have increased because of its economic advantage.
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.
Recently, a lot of multiple packaged unit system is adopted in small to medium sized buildings in Japan. This system enables to control each packaged air conditioner (PAC) individually because multiple packaged units are placed decentrally.
Because the super high-rise complex building would be designed vertically with a mixed-use space, a large amount of unpurified domestic sewage could be discharged continuously outside the building site.
In recent years school buildings, containing the workshop in high school, are old in Japan. Therefore most of them need renovating. Any air-conditioning systems are not often installed in the workshops.
The purpose of this study is to figure out the characteristics of thermal environment in a workshop at school in Japan and to propose the improvement method of the thermal environment without air-conditioning systems.
Recently, the role of the architecture which is corresponding to climate change and saving energy has been important.
We developed an airflow control unit for small chambers for uniformly controlling airflow on the surface of tested building material in the small chambers.
The objective of the study is to analyze the relative performance of factors affecting indoor air quality in multi-residential buildings in Korea.
Space conditions are directly controlled by terminal boxes in variable air volume (VAV) air handling unit (AHU) systems. The terminal box either modulates airflow or adjusts discharge air temperature.
The aim of this study is to find out a role of the computer simulation on sustainable design projects and development of façade elements with results of daylighting simulation and energy performance.
This paper is mainly present the filtering technology for air purification in the process of ventilation and air conditioning.
We developed a method for estimating effective flow areas not only in the external wall of a house but also in the internal walls between rooms using only one type of tracer gas.
Cold storage is a way to deal with peak cooling loads. Cold storage integrated with building structures is independent of the approach used for building cooling – it can be used with passive cooling as well as mechanical cooling.
Recently, in order to reduce energy consumption in the building sector, many air-conditioning systems have been proposed and applied to real buildings.
Air leakage test was carried out according to ASTM E779-03, Standard Test Method for Determining Air Leakage Rate by Fan Pressurization to meet the requirements of the LEED-NC v2.2(EQp2).
The Proceedings of the 31st AIVC Conference " Low Energy and Sustainable Ventilation Technologies for Green Buildings", held in Seoul, Korea, 26-28 October 2010.
Application of the principle of the balance of mechanical energy gives a constraint on the possible values of the junction coefficients at a duct system junction.
In contrast to mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation's performance is usually impacted by uncertain factors, including wind fluctuations, outside air temperature variations, and occupants' behaviours.
There is a growing desire to reduce peak temperatures within non-domestic buildings by accessing the thermal mass of separating floors. These floors are typically formed of concrete and can store reasonable amounts of heat.
In naturally ventilated environments, indoor temperatures are directly related to the air circulation and conditions of the built environment.
