LoginThis paper is aimed to present the analysis made over scale models for a calid climate region on simulated conditions (heliodon, wind tunnel).
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 study of thermal environment around buildings is of great importance for residential microclimatic conditions.
Providing optimum cooling and heating of residential buildings of hot and dry regions in Iran so far has been according to the relations of ecology, so that using architectural methods based on climate, local materials and also culture has damaged
Environmental and natural phenomena play a very significant role in laying the region's interrelated cultural, economic and social infrastructures.
This paper deals with the use of computer simulations both for design support of a new building including its heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) systems and for optimization of the HVAC control strategy during operation of the complet
In this paper the effect of insect screens and vent configuration of a tunnel greenhouse cultivated with a tomato crop on airflow, temperature and humidity patterns was numerically analyzed using a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) cod
This paper presents a simulation case that shows the impact on energy consumption of a building applying photovoltaic shading systems.
The study that is being undertaken at the University of Porto, Portugal, aims at creating a decision tool, based on the appropriate ventilation strategies for the cooling of buildings in hot humid climates.
Climate of the Po Valley, in northern Italy, typically is hot humid during summer and cold during winter.
This paper focuses on the effect of water sprinkling on the fluctuation of the surface temperatures of materials, which are widely used in the urban open spaces of Greek cities, and are exposed to solar radiation.
During the summer, the materials, which are used in the “skin” of Greek cities display very elevated surface temperatures.
This paper shows the building of the Intelligent Energy Research Center - CPEI, built at the Federal Center of Technological Education of Minas Gerais (CEFET-MG).
Decisions in the first stage of the design process have to respond to often discordant requirements of quantitative reliability and operational effectiveness and have to be pursued with a systemic, environmental approach.
REVIVAL is an energy demonstration project supported by the European Commission under the THERMIE programme. There are six demonstration sites in five EU countries.
Sustainable and ecological are becoming fashionable words for advertising products: ecological car, ecological food, ecological bag, even ecological fuel. To claim that a product is sustainable or ecological helps to sell it.
The Sino-Italy Environment & Energy Building (SIEEB) is regarded as a platform to develop the bilateral long-term cooperation between Italy and China in the environment and energy fields, and a model case for showing the CO2 emission reduction
influenced by various factors, such as the type of use (offices, residences, etc.), shape, placement, building materials, meteorological conditions etc.
Cultivation of crops such as tomatoes or lettuce in a modern hydroponic growing system reduces water consumption, requires no soil, doubles the growth rate, and enables year-round production.
In the last years, the terms “ecological, sustainable, green” have been used and abused, also in buildings and settlements design.
This paper describes an experimental study about thermal performance of different glazing materials in prototypes.
