LoginAs well as assessing the Building Sickness Score and a measure of stress, the questionnaire uses a double-Likert section rating the liking and importance of up to 24 environmental and organisational and human factors.
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.
Detailed simulations of lighting and HVAC energy consumption were performed on a prototype office building in six North American climates.
The paper analyses the transient behavior of a vertical plate evaporator for ammonia, this piece of equipment belonging to a refrigeration machine or heat pump.
A mathematical model of transient response of floor heating systems to ambient temperature variation is developed based on equivalent thickness method.
In apartment buildings with a collective heating system usually a weather compensator is used for controlling the heat delivery to the various apartments.
Municipalities, energy suppliers and building corporations in the Netherlands and beyond show a growing interest in energy management on municipal level.
Increasing air exchange rate to improve IAQ may increase energy consumption, but this increase may be compensated for by strategies such as free cooling and heat recovery.
The Australian Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme is aimed at improving the energy efficiency of residential building envelopes.
The hydraulic circuit connects and influences the behaviour of all important components of a climate installation.
The paper presents results of a simulation and laboratory study of the performance of a zeotropic mixture R-744/32/134a in a water-heating heat pump.
Industry is only using 20% of the heat subtracted from fossil fuels. The other 80% is released to the surroundings leading to an increase in the global warming effect.
A municipality water reticulation R22 ground-coupled reversible heat pump, was investigated as an alternative to conventional air source systems.
This paper presents the results of the first part of a research project. The objective of the project is to solve accurately the heat balance on a single glass window in a moderate climate.
The CLIM 2000 software environment [1] was developed by the Electricity Applications in Buildings Branch of the French utility company, Electricité de France.
It is well-known that there exist indoor temperature distributions.
This paper reflects the research presented in session 1 "Indoor Environment" of the present CLIMA 2000 Congress. Design and assessment of the indoor environment, mainly its thermal component, is discussed.
