LoginThe decrease of heat demand in low energy build-ings, very sensitive to solar and internal gains, and the development of new HVAC systems call for a reexam-ination of the usual modeling approaches in building simulation.
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.
Corporate tenants require ever-greater design certainty with respect to all aspects of proposed developments.
Indoor air quality and thermal comfort of the passive school buildings should be particularly paid more attentions due to those new passive school buildings adopted highly airtight building envelopes.
To study the impact variations in input on output vari-ation (Sobol index) of building model, a stochastic model (time series) of variables is introduced.
Spaces with high heat generation such as telecommunication base stations (TBS) increase sharply recently. Huge energy is consumed for air-conditioning because of large indoor heat rejection and year round cooling in these spaces.
Architecture practice is on the front line directly applying best-case evidence-based solutions to conserve energy.
This paper deals with typical residential buildings constructed according to the national energy-efficiency standard in China’s severe cold region.
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.
To holistically understand the influence of inhomo-geneous and dynamic indoor climatic effects on hu-man thermal comfort, it is essential to investigate the appropriate dynamic human thermoregulatory pro-cesses and their complex interdependencies
This paper depicts a formulation of the global home electricity management problem, which consists in ad-justing the electric energy consumption to the cost and availability variations of the power supply.
The main objective of this study is to develop a more accurate method to estimate the energy consumption of commercial buildings at the design stage.
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.
The 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.
Natural ventilation generally implies a complete or partial opening of windows which modifies the solar gains and the natural lighting, changing the solar and daylight factors.
