LoginThe investigation was conducted to investigate the relationship between thermal conditions andindoor air quality during summer in a new unit-type nursing home.
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.
The EPBD requires EU Member States to have legislation on Energy Performance of Buildings.
Air conditioning in offices has become current practice in North Western Europe. Main reasons are thehigh internal loads and solar gains.
The purpose of this investigation is to know the long term characteristics of VOC concentrations inhouses built before the building code in 2003 and to know the need of the countermeasures in thehouses were already built for example the improvemen
Air Quality at the height of skyscraper has not almost been cleared yet. Upper part of dwellings of tallbuildings at down town might intake inadequate outdoor air.
In this study, five different types of smoking spaces and non-smoking spaces were investigated in orderto discuss about tobacco odor leakage from smoking area. VVOCs, VOCs and aledehydes wereanalyzed for characterization of odor.
In 2002, the indoor environment and occupant health of approximately 800 residential buildings wereinvestigated by a questionnaire.
Much of the analysis of the potential to save energy and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in thebuildings sector has focused on the energy savings that can be achieved through incrementalimprovements in the efficiency of individual energy-usin
This study aims to understand chemical air pollution and its influence on students and staff in auniversity building that had been under renovation for 2 years.
The distribution of indoor airflow velocity by cross ventilation is influenced by the regional climateconditions, and the location as well as the shape of the building.
By natural ventilation, the air rate varies randomly. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate the naturalventilation performance due to insufficient measured data.
A successful Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) surveillance plan is essential for healthy and safe workplaces;yet it is costly to sample all air pollutants of the entire community.
This study presents a multi-objective optimum design method for reliable indoor humidity environmentsbased on the appropriate use of moisture-conditioning materials.
A group of 2-story detached houses is built next to a river stretching from south to north. There aremore than hundreds of houses, called the riverside townhouses in this study, in the construction site.
Energy conservation is one of the key issues for environmental protection and sustainabledevelopment. Currently, about 17% of the total energy is being consumed for heating, ventilation, airconditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration in Hong Kong.
We already have had theoretical model to predict temperature and humidity variations in a room. Manyworks have estimated the accuracy of the numerical model, but they might be influenced by the airmovement.
In 2000, the domestic greenhouse gas emission in Japan was 1332 million tons of CO2, whichincreased by 8% in comparison with that of 1990.
Indoor ozone has received attention because of its well-documented adverse effects on health.
FIELD SURVEY ON THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS IN THE NIIGATA AREA | 2007 | English
The purpose of this study is to investigate the actual conditions of the energy consumption of varioustypes of inhabited houses (e.g., wooden detached houses and condominiums) in the Niigata area.
This research clearly shows unpleasant odors in hospitals, with the goal of obtaining the basicinformation needed for formulating measures to control such odors.
