LoginA methodology for studying HVAC filter loading and subsequent microorganism removal is presented in this paper.
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 severe summer climate, the actual trends in building design (imported from northernlatitudes) and the rising living standard in Mediterranean countries have promoted a massive andunnecessary use of air conditioning systems.
Airflow characteristics in the air-conditioned surgical operating theatres play an importantrole to obtain comfort and hygiene conditions.
A high quality indoor environment, essential for occupant’s health, comfort and productivity, is the need of the present world. Room air simulations are being carried out to predict the airflow inside the room.
The present study treats a way to realize a local ventilation installation that collects the airlet out by a flat source.
The energy performance of a building is closely related to the expected or achieved indoorenvironmental quality.
This paper analyzes the existing ventilation flow pattern in a hospital room with two beds.The room is divided by curtains and partition walls, which has advantages for its use and medicalassistance, but is an important obstacle as far as ventilat
Airflow characteristics in ventilated and air-conditioned spaces play an important role toattain comfort and hygiene conditions.
Abstract Buildings equipped with state of the art heating/cooling systems and their energeticoptimization require air and radiation temperature value pairs set by controls so, that the value pairsfall within a range considered as comfortable.
The ISO 7730: 2005 introduces three classes of thermal environments (labelled A, B, C) as afunction of the PMV range value gradually decreasing according to the need of a lower dissatisfiedpercentage.
Thermal comfort very frequently affects thermal sensation in such a hot environment as Libya.
The study was carried out to answer directive 91/2002 of the UE, transcribed in Romaniathrough the law 372/2005, which requires, inter alias, the regular inspection of the installations of airconditioning.Such an inspection requires a coherent sys
The severe summer climate, the actual trends in building design (imported from northern latitudes) and the rising living standard in Mediterranean countries have promoted a massive and unnecessary use of air conditioning systems.
The utilization factor is a relative well-known concept used in some simplified calculationmethods as CEN EN-13790, in this regulation this factor depends on the thermal inertia and the ratioheat gains/ heat losses.
The passive cooling techniques such as night time cross ventilation is potentially an interesting strategy to provide substantial cooling energy savings in warm climates.
We reflect the results and conclusions of a study on the air’s motion in four old Surgery Rooms in a Basque Country (Spain) hospital that were to be reformed.
The objective of this paper is to expose the obtained results of ventilation efficiency in thetypical configurations of air extraction in residential buildings and, specifically, in the bathroomscases.
The paper is a presentation of selected results obtained by questionnaires, measurements and simulations of ventilation processes in typical blocks of flat and office buildings in Silesia.
For that study, field measurements of the indoor climate and ventilation performance have been carried out in Estonia in 28 lightweight timber-frame detached houses.
A comparison is made of the performances of various heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) arrangements in eliminating pollutants in working environmemnts in Taiwan. The airflow of various simulation routes are evaluated.
