LoginWe present a simple model to calculate the energy loss by free cooling at night.
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.
The paper outlines the design concept of the condensing boiler and its application in domestic heating systems and discusses the energy savings, investment opportunities and other benefits that can be realised.
Modelling techniques were used to verify the success of a "minimal duct" ventilation system proposed for an underground carpark in a prestigious project in Singapore. The procedure to determine the various model scaling parameters, to select the a
During recent years, energy consumption of buildings for cooling purposes has significantly increased.
This British Standard gives recommendations on the principles which should be observed when designing for the natural ventilation of buildings for human occupation.
As part of visualization of interior luminous environment in daylighting a programme (NATUREL) has been developed at CSTB. It allows to take into account complex shapes of building, furniture and apertures.
The presentation of most HVAC simulation programs are out of date and batch processing type. Their use is complex and often requires a good data processing knowledge.
This paper presents a new technique for the thermal systems modelling. This method, based on the structural modularity of a thermal system such as a building belongs to the modal methods family.
Analytical solutions for coupled diffusion of heat and moisture through a material are used to develop a generalisation of the wellknown 2 x 2 matrix method for describing heat flow only.
This paper describes the techniques used within the ESP environment# to simulate coupled heat and mass flows in integrated building and plant systems.
This paper describes an operating hourly weather simulation model which is utilized to drive building energy simulation and equipment design software.
A transient model for analyzing the hygrothermal behavior of building constructions | 1991 | English
While advanced models for combined heat and moisture transfer have been available in the community of building scientists within the last two decades, such models have not yet become an item in the toolbox of consultants, building designers or man
A numerical study of turbulent air flow in ventilated multi-room configurations, where both of buoyancy- and radiation-effects are of importance, is described in this paper.
A first order correction to uni-directional heat transfer is proposed, so that multi-dimensional heat transfer effects can be accounted for with only a moderate increase in storage and CPU timerequirements.
