LoginA passive ventilation system using solar chimneys was designed to provide ventilation to several classrooms in an addition to an elementary school in Washington, DC.
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.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
This paper presents an analysis of internal air temperatures measured hourly in the living rooms of 10 domestic buildings in the city of Leicester, UK.
In this study, it is a purpose to grasp the effect of natural ventilation in the apartment house. This study targeted the apartment house of 14 floors.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the indoor thermal environment under the solar shading environment. In this report, it experimented in the room to which the blind was shut to confirm the indoor thermal environment.
Simulations were conducted to optimize the design of a small building with walls constructed of limestonefilled gabion baskets.
The paper presents a numerical methodology to assess wind pedestrian comfort and natural ventilation in urban areas. UrbaWind, an automatic computational fluid dynamics code, is improved to model the wind in dense urban environments.
Thermal performance of Earth Air Tunnel Heat Exchanger (EATHE) under transient operating conditions depends upon the shape of thermal influence zone within the soil domain around the buried pipe.
This study prepares a list of articles on the CFD analyses of room air flow in the architecture field in Japan, and compiles information related to CFD analysis conditions described in each article.
This paper presents a methodology of simultaneous sizing of building envelope and heating system integrating management strategies in sketch phase.
The scientific literature offers a number of methods for assessing the likelihood of overheating in buildings.
This paper presents a new methodology of machine aided HVAC system optimization with currently available building simulation and optimization frameworks.
Building performance simulation has been utilised for the investigation of thermal comfort and airflow within a naturally ventilated, self-sufficient house in a bushfire prone area.
In previous studies, the authors combined load shifting and Model-based Predictive Control (MPC) for the optimization of a HVAC system.
Validations of implicit large eddy simulation were carried about two wind tunnel studies, which are flow and dispersion measurements around the building.
Minimum levels of attic ventilation have been required by residential building codes in the United States for years, but the precise attic temperature reductions of “poking holes in the roof” and corresponding energy impacts have rarely been robus
Double skin façades (DSF), are typically composed by two transparent envelope elements separated by a ventilated airspace.
This study investigates the effect of modeling the slatted floor as porous media on prediction of ammonia emissions and airflow patterns.
In this research, we look for a control strategy of the electrochromic windows, depending on the measurement of the vertical outdoor illuminance and the outdoor temperature, for an efficient highly glazed office building in Brussels.
