LoginIn order to understand why Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery is common in some countries of Europe yet installed in a small minority of domestic dwellings in the UK, surveys of Regional Electricity Companies and distributors have been carr
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.
Heat recovery is difficult to implement in passive stack ventilation because the pressure loss is usually too high in conventional heat exchangers compared with the stack pressure.
The 1995 edition of the National Building Code of Canada has extensively changed the ventilation requirements for housing.
A systematic analysis of ventilation efficiency of indoor climate in buildings is required. The article gives the strategy of that procedure and individual parameters of thermal environment and indoor air quality that must be taken into account.
For state of the art buildings ventilation heat loss can exceed 50 percent of the total heat loss of the building. Balanced ventilation systems with heat recovery from the exhaust air lead to bjg costs for ducts.
This paper deals with the simulation of VOCs concentration dispersion emitted from flooring material, with the purpose of understanding vocs emission and dispersion mechanisms.
Heat requirements of ventilation systems are becoming a dominant factor to be considered in energy balances prepared for residential buildings.
A renovation of a dwelling stock in Slovak republic primary mission is a dwelling environment quality increase and dwelling houses essential operative energetical claims decrease.
The need for energy efficient buildings is outlined, and the principal issues relating to commercial developments are discussed. The importance of natural cooling is highlighted, and the associated principle are examined.
Existing commercial buildings are surveyed and categorized based on the construction characteristics of their envelope. The envelope heat gain and the resulting cooling load demand are analysed with the aid of energy simulation tool DOE-2. l D.
The dynamic performance of a radiative cooling system for buildings is calculated and presented in the present paper.
The report describes measurements of the deposition of large particles from a small scale wind tunnel model of a chemical warehouse fire plume.
