LoginThe transient performance of displacement ventilation has rarely been studied though many researches have been done on the area..
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.
Combustion gases from diesel engines of trucks accumulate in the apparatus rooms of fire stations when fire trucks and emergency vehicles leave for or return from an emergency run.
A client was pleased with the performance of a recent building designed and built with low energy objectives on the "mixed mode" principle.
Air-to-air heat and moisture exchange between exhaust and supply airflows can substantially reduce HVAC costs.
The starting point for designs which respond to our worsening environmental situation is a study of building form with particular emphasis on the facade and section and on materials.
A technique has been developed to estimate the equivalent leakage area needed in residences to provide a quantity of infiltration-driven air exchange which exceeds a design value for a desired level of frequency of occurrence.
In June 2000 ASHRAE's Standard Project Committee on "Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings", SPC 62.2P, recommended and the Board of Directors approved ASHRAE's first complete standard on residential venti
This paper gives an outline of the work that has been carried out in developing a positive ventilation chiller.
The Equitable Building, which opened on 1January1948, in Portland, Oregon, was the first of a new architectural form. Technically and aesthetically it was radically different from any previous structure.
The acoustics and ventilation method allows the designer to explore natural ventilation and acoustics issues at an early design stage.
Technology Programme INVENT took place in Finland from 1991 to 1996. In this programme over 100 R&D projects were completed and over 20 Million US dollars used to promote industrial ventilation equipment, systems and services.
Although the REEXS-principle Reinforced Exhaust System) has been the object of numerous investigations, who found substantial improvements compared to ordinary local exhaust ventilation hoods, it is far from being generally accepted and used.
The assessment of human exposure to airborne contaminant is an important issue in building design. The physiological significance of such exposure and technical means to minimise such risks have long been known in literatures.
Recently, the need to control environmental tobacco smoke {ETS) in restaurants and bars has increased.
Nicotine concentration in air has been measured in several restaurants by different measuring techniques.
The ventilation efficiency in a displacement ventilated room with non-buoyant pollutant sources was evaluated under laboratory conditions.
