LoginAn analysis is presented of the impact of glazing selection on building performance and daylight levels for a small office building designed to be built in Canberra, Australia.
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 purpose of this study is to determine appropriate daylighting devices for office buildings in the city of New Delhi, India.
The purpose of this paper is to find the efficiency of window shades regarding building energy performance and explore the possibility of developing a model that enables users to find proper shades for their specific conditions. The paper investig
This article aims to discuss the results of the EnergyPlus daylighting module – Detailed.
The objective of this paper is to highlight the effectiveness of light shelves in tropical office buildings to enhance interior daylighting quality.
This paper describes the latest developments in the simulation of a thermal probe apparatus, building on earlier work as reported by de Wilde et al. (2007). The work focuses on researching the role of the probe to sample conductance H.
According to both the actual energy context and the latest laws meeting EU requirements about energy certification schemes for buildings, carrying out an energy performance diagnosis is mandatory, notably when buying or selling buildings.
This paper describes an outdoor-indoor thermal investigation of a multifamily residential building during summer in Cairo, Egypt.
The wind environment around a building influences human lives and the design of it. Simulation by CFD software is a main method used to study wind environment.
Presented work is devoted to numerical analysis of wind flow in vicinity of recently renovated historical building. The analysed building is a part of larger old post industrial complex transformed into cultural centre.
Cooling energy refurbishment of buildings can be achieved by coating the outdoor walls with paints that have high solar reflectance (0.3-2.5µm) and high thermal emittance (4-80µm).
The knowledge of the local loss coefficients is important for the accurate calculation of ventilation duct pressure loss.
Effects of differences in a town’s configuration and the building surface components on urban warming were investigated. One of the most traditional and now urbanized districts in Osaka was selected as the objective.
Orthonormal Basis Functions (OBF) is a structure of dynamic models that have been applied in different classes of dynamic systems.
Advanced façade systems such as double skin facades are increasingly common. However, evaluation of performance in terms of energy and comfort is not always possible.
This paper reports a modelling study on quantitative assessment of economical benefits of three low energy solutions that could be easily applied to a large number of office buildings in the delta area of Yangtze River, where climate is characteri
Natural light is irreplaceable because it is a full-spectrum light, it changes during the day and it is different every day of the year.
This paper addresses the optimal design of residential ventilation systems in an apartment floor plan in Korea.
This paper provides a brief, non-exhaustive overview of the status of the application of CFD in building performance simulation for the outdoor environment. It focuses on four topics: (1) pedestrian wind environment around buildings; (2) wind-driv
The paper examines the importance of using site-specific data in computer simulation of building energy performance.
