LoginPhotovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) systems integrate photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies into onesingle system with dual production of electricity and heat energy. There are alternative designs to suitdifferent 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.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
Conventional techniques for the measurement of adventitious leakage of building envelopes are basedon steady pressurisation at high pressures (e.g. 50 Pa) that are not normally encountered with naturalor mechanical ventilation.
The indoor air quality of railroad passenger cabin is often polluted by various pollutants.
Recently most houses in northern Japan are highly insulated and air-tight, which can lead to seriousproblems such as indoor air pollution. It is important to evaluate the performance of an air-tight housefrom the viewpoint of ventilation.
With the increasing concerns on the issues of global warming, urban heat island and depletion of fossilfuels, energy saving effort is getting more and more important, particularly in the city context.
Sweden is a country with a severe winter climate. Nevertheless, cooling during working hours is oftenrequired all year around in offices. Frequently passive chilled beams are used for providing additionalcooling.
In recent years, as a supplement for conventional large-scale power generation system, distributedenergy resources (DER) system has got more comprehensive attention.
This paper report refers to an indoor thermal environment and energy-saving characteristics of asmall-scale nursing home in CHINO City, Nagano Prefecture, JAPAN (referred to as S nursing house)by means of measuring the temperature, humidity and el
Sick building syndrome, which has become a major public concern in recent years, is caused in part byvolatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by building materials.
Investigation of ventilation measurement method was carried out in a full-scale test house. The aim ofthis study was to examine the ventilation rate via human expiration. The adopted method is able tomeasure multi-zone airflow rates.
District Heating and Cooling system (DHC) is an efficient energy system as they can supply chilled andheating water/steam effectively by integrating heating and cooling demand of neighboring buildings.However, there is possibility for further impr
As a series of our research on energy conservation and thermal comfort of detached houses havingcentralized HVAC systems, sensitivity analysis on feasibility of space cooling with outdoor air wasconducted using Design of Experiment(DOE).
Variation of discharge coefficients with wind direction and opening position is one of the main factorsdebasing accuracy of cross-ventilation flow rate prediction.
Supermarket is common in China because of its convenience and abundant merchandise. People insupermarket can be classified into two categories: clients and operators.
Design of cooling and heating sources of HVAC system is one of the main parts of green buildingdesign, as well as one of key measures to improve building energy efficiency and reduce environmentalimpact.
Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) tests have been carried out for toluene adsorbed on the TiO2/ACFcatalyst in an environmental condition controlled chamber.
The purpose of this study is to develop an optical measurement method of particles on a flat surfacefor evaluating particle removal performance of air-jet by nozzles in the cleanroom.
This paper describes field experiments and numerical simulations on hybrid utilization of renewableenergy and polymer electrolyte fuel cells for a residential energy system.
In Hungary from the total energy consumption of the country 30% is caused by the heating, ventilationand air conditioning systems of buildings.
In this paper, the experiment for moisture buffering and effect of ventilation rate and volume rate of thehygrothermal materials is described.
