LoginA dynamic model based on physical laws and field measurements has been developed to simulate temperature, humidity and gas concentration in livestock buildings and the emission of ammonia from these buildings.
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 compares the results obtained with the simplified sizing methodologies for thermal energy storage components usual in HVAC current practice and those obtained from an optimised procedure based on hourly simulations.
In the last years, as fenestration and shading systems have become more complex and sophisticated, a great improvement of thermal and solar-optical performance has been required and as a consequence old methods of characterization have become inad
It has been shown by previous researchers that Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) not only be used to predict energy more reliably than traditional simulation models and regression techniques but can also from the basis for a predictive controller
Defrosting in supermarket refrigeration systems is normally controlled by a preset time cycle with most display cabinets timed to defrost every 6 hours.
The article shows the results of a case study dealing with indoor daylighting concepts and practice.
Optimization of solar energy use for low-energy residential houses in Japan is proposed in order to design rational solar energy systems, it is important to recognize the structure of energy consumption of the residential houses as well as the cli
With over 100 references, the document is divided into sections on: previous international energy studies, ventilation rate standards and requirements, mechanical ventilation, "mixed mode" or "hybrid" systems, natural ventilation, infiltration in
The potential for using a large eddy simulation (LES) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to analyze building indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation problems was investigated.
Computer programs for the calculation of non-isothermal air flow in rooms have been developed in the last years as reasonable precise and effective tools for non-conventional and difficult tasks in air conditioning technology.
