LoginBibliographic 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.
Wind pressure coefficients (Cp values) are among the basic data required for ventilation and air infiltration calculations and modelling.
As part of its new operating programme, the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre is establishing a numerical database to be used both in support of design studies and for the verification of numerical models.
This investigation was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of detecting air leaks in typical constructions through the measurement of sound transmission. The sound transmission of various slits was measured.
