LoginBuilding air flow is directly related to the building energy consumption and indoor air quality.
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.
A branched connection is a single air flow passage connecting more than two zones.
This investigation is concerned with the determination of velocity pressure loss-factors for HVAC system components using tracer-gas techniques.
A small test room has been built which is five times smaller than the so called Annex-20-room. Different kinds of tracers have been used for visualizing of flow patterns.
A literature review shows that the actual trends to prediction of air flow in multizone buildings are not only due to economical reasons but mainly to indoor air quality, acoustical and thermal comfort improvements.
The external facade of a nine storey office building has been reclad with a ventilated cavity structure with a length to height ratio greater than forty.
The heat loss associated with the external fabric of a building has been greatly reduced by the increased levels of modem insulation, but heating losses associated with cold external air flowing into a building via leakage points in the external f
A laboratory for the study of residential attic performance under natural conditions has been constructed.
In designing air-conditioning systems for large-scale indoor spaces, it is important to predict the air velocity and temperature distributions in such spaces to enable indoor climate to be controlled effectively.
