This paper focuses on the optimization of control strategies with regard to the end energy consumption and the thermal comfort of low-exergy systems for space heating in non-residential buildings.
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 focuses on the optimization of control strategies with regard to the end energy consumption and the thermal comfort of low-exergy systems for space heating in non-residential buildings.
Natural ventilation in building is a common way to ensure indoor air quality, thermal comfort in summer and reduce energy consumption due to air conditioning.
Completed in early 2012, the showcase Tyree Energy Technologies Building (TETB) is the new home for several energy research groups at the University of New South Wales.
The capacity of intermittent power sources like wind and PV is steadily increasing. The existing balance between production and consumption is seriously affected by these new sources.
