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.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
This overview explains why indoor air quality (lAQ) has recently attracted so much attention what are the major sources of indoor air pollution, and what are the health effects of concern.
A simple model is developed for the estimation of annual rates in single-family houses using indicators for both house tightness (air changes at 50 Pa) and site climate (the leakage-infiltration ratio).
It was generally recognised that because of occupants' behaviour, natural ventilation rates were usually much lower than the accepted criteria for calculation.
The report gives the first results of the measurement campaign of 1986-1987. The 'Lindeman' housing estate was built by the coal mine of Zolder for its miners shortly after the 2nd World War (1947-1948).
A discharge coefficient equation was incorporated into a mass balancing procedure to compute the elevation of the neutral pressure axis (NPA) for a general distribution of openings.
