Some building performance simulation programs compute the volume flow rate in ducts and pipe net-works for a given fan speed, which may be computed by a feedback controller, based on the intersectio
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.

Heating and cooling load estimation is based on the heat balance method.
Multidimensional effects through porous building elements is barely explored in the literature due to many difficulties such as modeling complexity, computer run time, numerical convergence and hig
Hygrothermal properties (such as thermal conductivity, sorption isotherm, moisture diffusivity…) are required for all Heat, Air and Moisture transfer (HAM) models.
Moisture transfer in porous construction materials car-ries many causes for their degradation: mould devel-opment and freeze-thaw damage are favoured by the accumulation of water, and chemicals suc
