Thermal coupling between a heat pump and a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV-T) collector is efficient for two reasons.
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.
Thermal coupling between a heat pump and a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV-T) collector is efficient for two reasons.
Traditional energy performance calculated using building simulation with the typical meteorological year (TMY) weather data represents the energy performance in a typical year but not necessarily t
This paper presents helical heat exchangers for geothermal use.
It is a known fact that fault in the buildings can cause as much as 30% increase in energy consumption. Thus, identifying critical failure modes affecting building energy performance is important.
This paper reports on how sensitivity analysis techniques, applied to the inputs of calculation engines for energy certification and regulation compliance purposes, can provide guidance for simplif
The building performance simulation community ap-plies theory from several different fields to develop models for heat transfer, light propagation, human be-havior, and other domains.
This paper summarizes a study that was undertaken to reveal potential challenges and opportunities for integrating optimisation tools in Net/Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) Design.
Smart homes and Ambient Intelligence Environments require embedded technologies able to work and think jointly.
