LoginFor improving feedback about thermal simulation results from engineers to architects, it is desirable to present them in the three-dimensional context of the building.
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 describes the methodology and the implementation of DEST, which is a simulation software developed to help the designer during design process. For each design phase, DEST provides corresponding method and program.
Eight mechanically ventilated flow patterns have been conducted in a test chamber. The air age in test chamber is measured with tracer gas technique. A CFD program named as STACH-3 is developed with the transport equation of air age in it.
This paper reports on two case studies that explore the current use of computational tools in building design scenarios.
Currently used design tools for kitchen design are often complicated, have poor interfaces and limited capabilities to exchange data between different applications.
