LoginBibliographic 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.
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.
Today, radiant floor heating systems are generally used for heating indoor environments of residential buildings. Radiant heating is physically comfortable and energy use largely differs compared to convective heating.
This paper explores a technique for generating marginal abatement cost curves for individual build-ings.
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.
In this paper, we give an overview of an on-going research work aiming at assessing the benefits that could be drawn from applying advanced software engineering techniques – namely model-driven architecture, component-based approaches and model-ba
This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of Model based Predictive Control (MPC) performance, with the final goal to rank the building and system parameters influencing the robustness of the MPC.
Hygrothermal behaviour of a hemp concrete wall: experimental and numerical approach | 2013 | English
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.
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.
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.
Biomimicry offers opportunities to advance the development of flexible building facades.
Several measurements were performed on an innovative perforated solar wall.
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 aim of this study is to establish the suitability of using existing net zero energy building (Net ZEB) solution sets to redesign Net ZEBs being moved into different climates.
