LoginCo2nserve is a commercially sponsored project aimed at developing a cost effective modular building that is able to meet sustainability, energy and carbon efficiency needs, and is adaptable to meet a wide range of occupancy applications.
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 world urban population is expanding, resulting in taller buildings and increased building density.
According to the local climate in Auckland, New Zealand, a house does not normally need any active cooling controls such as air conditioning or ceiling fans during the summer. Temporary heating is mainly needed during the winter night.
Recently, studies have shown that the classroom environment is very important for students' health and performance. Thus, the evaluation of indoor air quality (IAQ) in a classroom is necessary to ensure students' well-being.
Wind catcher systems have been employed in buildings in the Middle East for many centuries and they are known by different names in different parts of the region.
Wind is an important factor that should be considered in the process of urban design.
The ventilation of underground car parks is important to avoid health problems associated with the inhalation of combustion products released by car engines, in particular carbon monoxide CO (which is commonly used as the indicator of car park ind
The fan is one of the major noise sources of an air conditioner.
This paper presents the influence of air blown through an injection nozzle in a circular section induction box on the axial jet and air induction.
The gradual shift from the traditional approach of outdoor processes of habitation in Ghana to the indoor, coupled with an ingress of solar radiation, liberates excess heat into buildings and makes occupants feel uncomfortable.
This work investigates the impact of space planning, interior porosity and variable occupancy on the energy use in offices that is attributable to ventilation/infiltration and air movement.
In this paper, eight ventilation strategies in a typical apartment floor plan in Jeju, Korea were studied.
In this paper, the hygrothermal controll material, the interior finishing material with moisture sorption and desorption characteristics containing PCM (Phase Change Material utilizing latent heat), is developed to provide the function of constant
The purpose of this study is to propose an optimal design method for the energy system in apartment house using a genetic algorithm and to examine the possibility for the energy conservation of a designed energy system.
Establishing the appropriate measure for estimating and improving the energy performance of a new building is very important at Schematic Design.
Increasing insulation thickness may reduce the energy consumption and environmental load in building operation phase, but may also increase those in insulation production phase.
It is necessary to do research on the heat and moisture transfer in the earth-sheltered building for getting a better underground environment.
Design of different energy-efficient office buildings in Norway with different energy concepts were studied with a number of different simulation tools.
The tombs of the Pharonic kings in "valley of the kings", Thebes, Egypt are famous for their unique wall paintings and structure.
Design of different energy-efficient office buildings in Norway with different energy concepts were studied with a number of different shapes.
