LoginIn this paper, a new approach for energy consumption and peak demand predicting in buildings is shown. The method is based on a mathematical model of load curve and energy curve.
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.
This paper deals with the development and the evaluation of hybrid ventilation control strategies, using both natural and mechanical mode, in residential buildings.
Requirements on working environment in office buildings according to Czech law express optimal air temperature, globe temperature, humidity and air velocity.
The cellular method for optimal shading design recently has been implemented as a plug-in for the Ecotect software (Fig. 1).
Existing advanced and sophisticated building systems combined with emerging IT technologies create the opportunities for e-based energy management.
This paper presents internal pressure coefficients and discharge coefficients in a building with wind-driven cross-ventilation caused by sliding window openings on two adjacent walls.
Regular escalation of the state electricity price gives an impact to the increase of operational cost of any high-rise building in Indonesia.
This paper describes a component of ongoing research that deals with planning and design strategies relevant to sustainable and low energy development.
This paper presents an energy status study of a modern office building in the region of Xanthi. The results of the study are analyzed and evaluated with the use of appropriate software.
The objective of this work was to experimentally investigate the influence of vent type and of insect proof screens on ventilation rate of a round arch plastic covered greenhouse.
This paper is focused on passive cooling techniques and especially on natural and hybrid ventilation as part of energy rehabilitation measures during an office renovation project.
London’s urban heat island increases the mean air temperature which affects the demand for heating and cooling buildings. The simultaneous hourly air temperature in London has been measured continuously for a year.
In this study, a thermal-network model is employed for the determination of the characteristic thermal inertia factors and more specifically the decrement factor f and the time lag ?.
The current environmental data and mainly the concern on the exhaustion of not renewable sources of energy dictate the need that the human activities should take place in the frame of sustainable development.
The approach of the building as a system in Time and its interrelationships with the environment, are presented as a “Matrix of Environmental Value (Ev)” that takes into account all possible aspects of “harmfulness – friendliness” towards the envi
This study presents an experience of a bioclimatic design studio. The teaching methods used in the Architecture Course of the University of Campinas, UNICAMP Brazil are discussed.
This paper presents the technological part of activities executed in the framework of MUSEUMS Project Slovene Ethnographic Museum, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
In built environment assured access to sun is important because of the quality of life and because of the energy benefits. We can find a great number of historical precedents of respecting this issue.
The field of thermal comfort surveys has recently expanded to other areas such as vehic- les and external spaces. An area that has not been examined is boats.
A model has been proposed for evaluating the discharge coefficient and flow angle at an inflow opening for cross-ventilation.
