Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. 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.

More and more single-family houses are being retrofitted to achieve better energy efficiency levels.
Radon gas is the second biggest cause of lung cancer after smoking and is directly linked to approximately 350 lung cancer cases in Ireland each year.
This session will begin with providing an overview of presence Personal Environmental Control Systems (PECS) related mention in various countries national codes and standards formulated by industry organizations.
When making homes more sustainable, the emphasis is on scaling up to achieve the climate and energy objectives.
There is a pressing need for large-scale energy retrofits in domestic dwellings to reduce carbon emissions.
More than 70% of the dwellings in Chile were built before 2000, when the use of thermal insulation in the roofs of residential buildings became mandatory.
Daycare centers (DCCs) are pivotal in early childhood development, serving as a primary indoor environment for young children.
This study evaluates the performance of Single-Flow and Dual-Flow ventilation systems in a residential building situated in Strasbourg, characterized by high PM2.5 levels, permeable tightness, and strong wind conditions.
Increasing indoor ventilation has the potential to dilute indoor radon and may be an appropriate first step when measured indoor radon concentrations are close to the mitigation threshold for an existing low-rise house that lack
Personal Environmental Control Systems (PECS) enable to individually control the environment in the immediate surroundings of an occupant regarding the thermal, air quality, acoustic, and/or luminous domain without directly infl
Improving the energy performance of a building has been shown to improve health outcomes in fuel poor homes (Wang et al., 2022). However, increasing building air tightness through provision of increased insulation, without due
Achieving better energy efficiency requires dwellings to face a delicate equilibrium, balancing thermal comfort and indoor air quality.
Nowadays, the building sector faces many challenges on occupant and resource levels. Given many indoor environmental quality (IEQ) complaints collected by field surveys, the first challenge is to provide comfort improvements.
This summary highlights the benefits of PECS for occupants’ health, comfort, and cognitive performance.
The Performance 2 project (2020-2024) is a French national research project that aims to evaluate the long-term performance and durability of Humidity-based Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) systems installed in two multi-fami
Research suggests that energy retrofit measures can have a positive impact on temperature, relative humidity, and can reduce the occurrence of damp and mould (Wang et al., 2022, Fisk et al., 2020).
