This paper presents a methodology for optimizing skylight design with the considerations of thermal comfort, daylight availability and energy performance by integrated daylight and thermal simulati
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.
This paper presents a methodology for optimizing skylight design with the considerations of thermal comfort, daylight availability and energy performance by integrated daylight and thermal simulati
Simulating heat conduction in massive walls with commercial software is reported to cause numerical instability or reduced accuracy.
Poorly functioning and tuned control systems are a frequent source of building underperformance.
Heat demand management through demand shifting will be crucial to enable load balancing in a future electricity grid with large domestic heating loads.
This paper describes a prototype of a web-based 3D design and energy modeling platform called “Atmospheres”.
