LoginThere are currently at least 6 national and European standards in Germany, which describe the assessment of infiltration- and exfiltration-volume flows subject to building air tightness.
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.
So far, the ideal-tight typical cross section is usually considered at the evaluation of constructions with the help of hygrothermal simulation.
VIP 31: Humidity Controlled Exhaust Ventilation in Moderate Climate | 2009 | English, French | 12 pp
Born with the energetic crisis, humidity controlled ventilation has been introduced in regions with a moderate climate as a means to fight condensation problems induced by tighter building construction and lower heating temperatures.
Recent studies have demonstrated the influence that air jets in rooms ventilated by chilled beams have on draught-related thermal sensation.
This paper presents a new simplified method to measure the air entrainment ratio of an active chilled beam or induction unit.
The well-known case of a simple naturally ventilated building with two openings, uniform internal temperature and opposing wind and buoyancy forces is re-visited.
The airflow rate of a building ventilated by wind is usually predicted by using the wind pressure coefficients obtained for a sealed building and discharge coefficients based on measuring the airflow characteristics through an opening in a sealed
In the Island city of Mumbai, the Suburban Railway System operates 2500 EMU trains each of 9 or 12 cars and 6.3 millions passengers commute per day. It is considered to be the lifeline of the city.
Active thermal mass strategies can be used to enhance the performance of thermal mass through integration with the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Roof thermal performance is one of the most important factors for achieving indoor thermal comfort in a tropical house designed for natural cross ventilation.
Air renovation inside buildings is crucial to have productive workers, since the lack of good indoor conditions affects human activity and promotes diseases (Fisk, 2000).
China has been undergoing fast urbanization during the last three decades.
The paper presents the results and analysis of the energy consumption of a newly designed office building in relation to quality of the indoor environment.
Energy used for building heating, ventilating and air conditioning contributes to a great share in thetotal energy consumption worldwide.
The paper is devoted to the analysis of possibility for construction of low energy buildings withenvelopes controlled for minimization of energy consumption by air conditioning systems.
The paper provides the results of monitoring on the specifics of indoor air quality in Latvian dwellingbuildings.
This study examines the potential for using passive ventilation systems to meet ASHRAE 62.2requirements as a step in the process for optimizing hybrid ventilation systems.
Office buildings in central Chile normally show higher cooling than heating energy demand.Overheating is a frequent problem in this type of buildings in cities like Valparaso and Santiago.Santiago (33S) presents a Mediterranean climate, with a hig
The emission from materials is an important source of degradation of our indoor air quality.
One of the topics studied in the European IEE-ASIEPI project (www.asiepi.eu) is the way envelopeairtightness is dealt with in the EPB-regulations of the Member States.
