LoginThis report describes results from the first group of field measurements of the air change rate in 49 nonresidential buildings in the Stale o"f California. The air change rate measurements were made using a tracer gas method.
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 report describes various measurement protocols to be used in the measurement of air change rates in non-residential buildings. The measurement protocols are based on the use of tracer gas techniques.
Five hundred homes had been selected in Saint John, New Brunswick to evaluate the relationship between lead in blood and lead in drinking water.
This study examines a broad range of implications associated with the adoption of the National Energy Code for Housing (NECH) in Ontario. It is based on Public Review Draft 1.0 of the NECH.
The orientation, size, and nature of vents in screened exterior wall systems are important to wall performance because these characteristics affect venting, ventilation and pressure moderation. The ventilation of screened wall systems has received
Vehicle emissions depend directly on urban driving patterns which are an integral part of a wider range of urban features including density of settlement, car ownership, status of public transport, etc.
The constructive uses of vegetation in building engineering services are acoustic quieting, air molecular and particulate filtration, water filtration and chemical polishing, shading from solar gain, cooling and humidification.
An experimental setup is presented that can measure concentrations generated around a pulsating source of carbon dioxide (C02) that simulates human respiration.
A state-space representation of the dynamic model of air temperature distributions. | 1995 | English
The numerical evaluation of room air movement is made by systematic discretization of space and the dependent variables. This makes possible to replace the governing differential equations with simple algebraic equation.
In the frame work of IBA Task XIII, a pilot project URBAN VILLA has been realized in Amstelveen, The Netherlands, Ref. /1/.
To control the indoor thermal environment within the comfortable range, the dynamic temperature distributions and flows of room air must be correctly predicted.
