LoginThe purpose of this study is to show explicitly a series of exergy input, output, and consumption for daylighting, electric-lighting, and space heating/cooling system and hence to reveal how daylighting system consumes solar exergy and how electri
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.
In this paper a new method called TSM was presented to analyze wind effect on high-density building areas. With TSM, a software named WEATHER is developed based on STACH-3.
This paper describes a method to calculate cool and warm exergies stored by building envelopes and the result of a case study in terms of passive cooling strategy using the building envelope heat capacity.
The Simulation Problem Analysis and Research Kernel (SPARK) uses graph-theoretic techniques to match equations to variables and build computational graphs, yielding solution sequences indicated by needed data flow.
