LoginNowadays an air-conditioning design engineer is faced with a challenging task to minimise energy consumption and capital costs. One of the most common solutions is to apply heat recovery device.
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.
An office building with electrical and fan coil heating system is designed to test Building Management System (BMS).
Building owners and design offices wish to be provided with relevant and objective data on the quality of BEMS systems (Building Energy Management Systems) available on the market.
The current French energy conservation regulation for non-residential buildings was elaborated at the end of the 80 s.
Cooled beams are used to provide cooling of the spaces by means of natural or forced convection.
Hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants are environmentaly safe, readily available, non toxic, and have good thermodynamic and transfer properties. However, they are also flammable.
and diagnostic method on a rooftop air conditioning unit. When faults occur in the unit, the measured thermodynamic states differ from the states which are predicted by a model for normal system behavior, generating residuals.
To prevent the problems of internal condensation inside building walls, it is necessary to predict the moisture behavior exactly not only in the hygroscopic region of moisture content but also in the non-hygroscopic region.
The paper describes how first-principles models can be used to assist in the commissioning of HVAC systems. The techniques utilise models that are extended to treat different types of faults.
The problem developed and analyzed in this paper is that of the estimation of the uncertainty associated with the results obtained by numerical simulation codes of physical systems induced from input data.
The paper does some research work on limitations of design of PCM cool thermal storage in air-conditioning system, and provides some concepts related to the idea, on which the paper explains the capacity of this kind of air-conditioning system to
The development of the heat pump aims at a compact heat pump providing heating and cooling in an environmentally acceptable and energetically less consuming way.
In order to reduce the energy demand in the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning many efforts have been made during the last decades. HVAC-components used nowadays are much more advanced than those used years ago.
The authors have created a Neural-Fuzzy Assistant which acts as a Decision Support System and helps to perform quickly and easily the estimations of office building energy consumption.
This paper presents two approaches used to develop a model of Room Storage Heater. The first one consists of a dynamic model of the RSH developed by the authors using the results obtained from tests performed in a calorimetric chamber.
Energy requirements for HVAC systems operation in buildings must be known on account of the necessity to determine the operation costs of the buildings and to carry out analyses aimed at improvement of design conceptions applied in buildings and i
This work focuses on the testing and modelling of a bisplit refrigeration system.
