LoginBibliographic 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 reports the analysis of the thermal performance of building envelopes of high-rise commercial buildings in the subtropical climate and their interactions with cooling system.
At present, numerical simulation of room airflows is mainly conducted by either the Computational-Fluid-Dynamics (CFD) method or various zonal/network models. The CFD approach needs a large capacity of computer and a skillful expert.
The indoor air quality of an actual variable air volume (VA V) heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HV AC) system in a building on the campus of the University of Missouri, Rolla has been analyzed, modified, and monitored.
Knowledge of the authority of control dampers in HVAC systems may be used for diagnostic purposes or to enhance control performance. In this paper, a method of estimating damper authority in air distribution systems is described.
Within the framework of full-scale experimental validation of the global building energy simulation software programme CLIM2000 developed by Electricity Applications in Residential and Commercial Buildings Branch of Electricite De France (EDF is t
When talking about air-conditioning systems in buildings people argue with high energy consumption of those systems.
Indoor air flow induced by a fan-coil unit in an air-conditioned environmental chamber is studied experimentally. The supply Archimedes number which is a macroscopic number describing indoor air flow is measured and related to the
In Amstelveen, The Netherlands, an apartment complex of forty two units has been build. Sixteen units are extreme low energy apartments. These apartments are very well isolated and have air tight facades.
This paper presents a study of the dynamics of the turbulent mixing of a hot or cold air stream with the air in the interior of a building zone.
This paper is describing the preliminary results of the Annex 27 work aiming at developing simplified tools for evaluating domestic ventilation systems.
The design of natural ventilation devices in industrial buildings is complicated by the nonlinear interaction between the air flow rate and the indoor air temperature.
This study presents a new method of interior air motion assessment using artificial neural networks.
In line with its work on the positioning of gas air-conditioning systems in the commercial sector, the Gaz de France Research and Development Division conducted both experimental and theoretical studies. An air-conditioning system, known as the 'r
With the growth of living standards, there is an increasing demand for the cooling of living space. Rational energy use demands the use of alternative ways of cooling because the energy consumption of compressor cooling is high.
