This paper outlines a digital design and simulation-based process conceived and tested, for the automation of environmentally responsive building ‘forms’, optimized for Energy and Lighting performa
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.

To design and evaluate advanced controls for build-ings , building system models that can show detailed dynamics of feedback control loops are required.
The development of solar district heating is experiencing a booming.
Traditional building simulation tools have achieved considerable success in the past. They provide the essential foundation for modeling highly sophisti-cated tasks.
An urban microclimate model including air flow, heat and moisture transport in porous urban surfaces and solar and longwave radiation is presented, validated with wind tunnel experiments and used t
