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.

Ten years ago the automated constant concentration tracer gas (CCTG) method was conceived at the Technological Institute, Tastrup, Denmark.

A short description of previous and ongoing research in Italy is given in the article.

These problems can be overcome by compensating for the pressure drop over the flow meter in such a way that the pressure on the duct side of the grille remains the same before and after the positioning of the flow meter.

This article briefly describes a new piece of apparatus, recently developed at UMIST, which can be used for the determination of ventilation rates in, and air movement rates between, four interconnected cells.

Leakage area measurement by fan pressurisation becomes more difficult as the volume of a building is increased. The equipment becomes bulky, and measurements of air flow through the fan and the resulting pressure differential require more care.
