LoginAbove-ground multi-level car parks in large shopping centres are highly amenable to hybrid ventilation applications, particularly those centres with retail shops at the lower levels and car parks at the higher levels.
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 new office building of the Ministry of Transport at Terneuzen in the Netherlands is a sustainable and energy efficient building with a good indoor environment.
Currently, in the design of new buildings and retrofit of old buildings, attention is turning towards a more integral energy design with focus not only on thermal insulation and airtightness but also on optimal use of sustainable technologies such
Electrical energy consumption in the northwest region of the Mexican Republic during the summer, is the highest of the country, due mainly to the use of mechanical refrigeration systems that are used to condition the interior of the housing and ot
Multizone modelling is a way to determine the air flows in a complex ventilated building subject to internal and external loads.
This paper investigated design methods of utilising tunnel air for ventilation and prediction methods of distributing state for indoor thermal environment utilizing tunnel air for ventilation in one year in an office building, provided a series of
This paper presents a stochastic single zone model for a hybrid ventilated building. Wind pressure and stack effect are used to drive air through the enclosure assisted by a fan in case of insufficient natural driving forces.
Environmental control of basement by heating and dehumidifying the air is widely used in summer. In general, ventilation can make the air more humid.
A dual-mode demand control ventilation strategy was developed targeting at using in institutional or similar buildings where the number of occupants varies frequently.
In this study, the effects of internal partition on ventilation performance in terms of room air change efficiency and ventilation effectiveness were investigated.
This study utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and particle tracking procedure to study the effects of ventilation system and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) on minimizing the risk from airborne organism in isolation rooms.
Natural ventilation can be an effective measure to minimize building energy consumption and to improve indoor air quality.
The paper simulates the airflow and temperature fields in a dome Shanghai International Gymnastics Center (SIGC) at one summer day with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software PHOENIS.
In this paper, the distribution features air-conditioning temperature field are discussed with numerical simulation methods for semi-opening large space building.
The conditioned air is an important element in healthcare applications.
The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for ventilation research and design of ventilation systems has increased during the recent years.
If the swirling airflow is formed in the room, the ventilation effectiveness in the room becomes better than by the other method, as the airflow pattern has the fixed direction and the stable airflow path is built up.
This paper deals with the performance evaluation of three types of low-level ventilation systems: the wall displacement ventilation, the floor displacement ventilation and the impinging jet ventilation systems.
As researches on air delivery to air-conditioning room are turning from static mode to dynamic mode, especially the natural airflow simulation plan is being put forward, these, in turn, require more thorough understanding and more effective evalua
With the increasing number of private cars possessed by salaried people, there has been a change in the condition of ventilation for underground garage.
