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.
A passive integrating radon gas dosemeter has been developed using electrochemically etched tracks in CR-39. The detectors were used in a survey of 2000 homes in the UK.
This paper reviews the literature on sources and measurement of natural airborne radionuclides and radiation in buildings. It also briefly reviews control measures and suggests areas for further research.
This paper examines the frequency distribution of indoor radon concentrations and air exchange rates in conventional and energy-efficient houses, discusses radon source magnitudes, compares the distribution of source magnitudes with information on
Describes the influence of gas geisers on carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide production in 254 houses in the Netherlands.
Factsheet gives information on the design of the envelope house, criticism of the envelope design, an explanation of envelope performance, special construction details, new ideas for the envelope house and economics of the envelope.
Guidelines for environmental design and fuel conservation in educational buildings. | 1981 | English
Analyses the first 621 abstracts in AIRBASE.
An annotated bibliography containing 89 references to papers selected from the AIC's library and intended to be selective rather than comprehensive.
The glossary provides the definition of 700 terms related to air infiltration and ventilation (including formulas). The intention of the document is to promote a more uniform use of terms in the area of ventilation.
The series of technical publications 'Energy Efficiency in Buildings' was introduced by British Gas during the International Energy Conservation Month, October 1979, as part of the industry's support of Government energy initiatives.
Contains 16 pages as follows: The role of the Air Infiltration Centre; Introduction to the Air Infiltration Handbook; Indoor air quality and minimum ventilation; Effects of energy conservation measures in existing buildings; A simple method for re
