LoginThe aim of this paper is to develop an opti-mization algorithm to control the temperature in the occupation zone, using reduced-order ap-proaches based on POD.
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.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
Biomimicry offers opportunities to advance the development of flexible building facades.
This study aims to establish a correlation between thermal comfort and energy consumption for typical office buildings in India. Building envelope characteristics are varied to represent local energy code compliant case.
Hygrothermal behaviour of a hemp concrete wall: experimental and numerical approach | 2013 | English
Different wall construction configurations lead to different wall thermal behaviour which affects energy consumption and thermal comfort of the room.
Calibration of Building Energy Simulation is an under-determined problem. There can be several correct solutions. The consequences of using the Building Energy Simulation for retrofit design can be significant.
Based on observations conducted in an office building, we apply advanced statistical analysis methods, leading to the formulation of stochastic models for the prediction of buildings occupants’ actions on window openings and shading devices.
The concept of a supply-air window is to allow air renewal circulating between glasses before entering inwards. Based on this principle, a part of heat transfer through the glasses is recovered by air renewal.
Adaptation to climate change on an urban scale is important, as increases in temperature will be inevitable according to future climate scenarios.
Architecture practice is on the front line directly applying best-case evidence-based solutions to conserve energy.
In order to inform the design of a building or a group of buildings in relation to their potential energy efficiency, the main impact will be at the initial concept design stage.
This paper describes yearly and monthly optimization of greenhouse shells. Simulations adopt a validated building energy simulation program, adapted and re-validated for simulation of commercial greenhouses, including a tomato crop model.
SRC (System of Resistances and Capacitances), is a new building thermal simulation program which uses an RC-Network representation to model the thermal flow among building elements and an H-Network rep-resentation to model the humidity mass flow amo
Thermal renovation of buildings has other consequences than energy savings. In this project, a light framed renovation façade with a low U-value was added on existing heavy building envelop, for enhance its energy performance.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is one of the branches of fluid mechanics that uses numerical meth-ods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows.
