LoginThis paper describes the results of a computational study on the feasibility of cooling houses in the Netherlands with a system consisting of a heat exchanger in the soil, a heat pump, and a low temperature heating system.
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 use of computer simulations both for design support of a new building including its heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems and for optimization of the HVAC control strategy during operation of the comple
Computer simulation of evaporative cooling of buildings by water spray vaporization | 2005 | English
This paper presents the performance of a computer simulation code for modelling the evaporative cooling of buidings by water spray vaporization, bring together the scales of the droplet, spray and building.
A brand-new methodology for considerably accurate time-series cooling load calculation in a dwelling is established, motivated by the fact that dwelling energy requirements so significantly affect the so-called urban heat island.
Daylighting Simulation is a complex task, involving many parameters, but an important step to design buildings, especially when the main purpose is more comfort and energy conservation.
DElight is a simulation engine for daylight and electric lighting system analysis in buildings.
This paper describes the design and simulation of a hybrid ventilation system for a recently constructed circus building in Montreal. The HVAC system draws fresh air through two underground ducts which are used for preheating or precooling.
This paper presents an analysis of the thermal
behaviour of the new San Diego Children’s museum
and the subsequent development of a low energy
climate control system. The museum is designed as a
The research developed maximum chiller cooling capacity predicting equations with building shape factor and the ENVLOAD index which is now the building envelope energy conservation design control factor in Taiwan.
Application of EESLISM for the energy and environmental control system design in the example building is described.
The requirements for a scaleable energy model for the UK non-domestic building stock are described.. The non-domestic stock is much more heterogeneous than the domestic stock.
Presence of volatile organic compounds in indoor air affects human health.
The evaluation and analysis of available simulation tools suggests a thorough research methodology for creating a new front-end interface that solves current usage problems.
For a quick and reliable energy evaluation of houses, one needs simple energy analysis software.
Regression equations can be used for predicting temperature and relative humidity in single-zone buildings.
An efficient urban energy system could be a highly diverse and well-integrated structure of buildings and systems.
The objective of this paper is to examine different means of producing domestic hot water (DHW) in Zero net energy homes (ZNEH).
This paper deals with the dynamical modelling of a solar evacuated tube collector under variable weather conditions. After describing the mathematical model, the paper presents elements of validation.
This paper describes a case study to estimate the time and effort needed by novice designers to computationally evaluate the performance of building designs.
This paper presents a simulation-assisted daylightresponsive illumination control system.
