LoginThen main objective of this work is to create subsidies for an analysis of Predicted MeanVote (PMV) from ISO 7730 (1994), for thermal comfort evaluation in Brazilianworkplaces.
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.
Simulation of building performance is increasingly being used in design practice topredict comfort of occupants in finished buildings.
In this paper, the authors have studied the oxidation processes on air filter surfaces initiated by ozone.
This study shows that the removal of combustion products formed during cooking is more efficient in the newer homes than in those studied in the early-to mid-1980s.
The SEF (system effect factor) causes loss of capacity of fan volume attributed to poorly designed and installed duct fittings at the inlet or outlet fan.
In this article a conventional DX system is compared to three other all-electric enhanced dehumidification DX system packages to provide insight into their respective preformance capabilities.
Ashrae 62.1 and 62.2 standards set minimum ventilation rates that provide acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) in occupied places. But these rates contribute to building mold problems in hot, humid climates.
The strongest justification for lowering ventilation rates would be epidemiological studies that link ventilation and health effects in several building types. In the past 25 years, few studies addressed that question in USA.
In this paper, results of air leakage testing in newly constructed multi-unit residential buildings are presented, they show that individual apartments are relatively airtight.
This paper is a sum up of the new ventilation requirements in Flemish region published in the Belgian "Moniteur" on June 17th 2005.
A comprehensive energy-conservation study that leads to design and installation of ventilation system that improves plating process operating energy efficiency at the plant.
This paper is the part 2 of a two-part series.
The first goal of this paper is to arm the reader with the knowledge necessary to compare filter performance. In that aim ASHRAE standards 52.1.-1992 and 52.2.
A new method for optimizing the indoor thermal climate under nonuniform temperature distribution by accounting for energy conservation and indoor thermal comfort has been developed.
This paper provides an experimental evaluation of the efficiency of an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) for a range of summer temperatures in Ottawa including humid summer days.
The effect of varying inlet air velocity due to a corresponding change in inlet nozzle slot size to achieve a constant slot Reynolds number was investigated in a benchmark room.
In this paper, the airborne transport characteristics of airflow due to coughing are investigated in a stagnant indoor environment using transient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis on the dispersion of coughed airflow.
This paper presents an integrated approach to controlling dry-bulb supply air temperature and outside air intake rate of an air-handling unit (AHU) by adopting a model predictive control strategy.
This paper describes the design, simulation, building, and testing of a 10.5 kW (3-ton) residential air conditioner for hot/ dry climates.
Double-skin facades have been increasingly used as they open up new possibilities for clients and planners seeking creative new designs that are intelligently adapted to environmental conditions.
