This paper describes a modelling comparison between three very similar medium sized educational buildings located in the temperate climate of Nelson, New Zealand, each designed using structural sys
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.

Numerous researches have shown the possibility to enhance indoor natural ventilation in buildings by using inclined solar chimneys, although most of them usually include determining an optimum tilt
The faulty operation of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems in commercial buildings can waste vast amounts of energy, cause unnecessary CO2 emissions and decrease occupant therm
The diversity of non-domestic buildings at urban scale poses a number of difficulties to develop building stock models.
As the solar thermal system with the floor heating and the hot-water supply system need low temperature of 40-50 degC, the effectiveness of solar collector is high.
The Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) currently under development at the University of Wollongong will be an exemplar in respect of demonstration of a range of technical and operational
To achieve the low-carbon society, Japanese government has conducted; 1) to revise “Laws Concerning the Rational Use of Energy”, 2) to manifest reducing 25 % of CO2 emission, and 3) to participate
The canopy wall in the greenhouse is modelled as windows in the builidng simulation software, so as to avoid using the concept of overall heat transfer coefficient between inside greenhouse air and
