LoginThe aim of the authors is to study the differences of indoor air quality between 8 different office buildings along with the different individual exposition between the occupants of the same building. That study lasted 5 months.
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.
The main results of 3 studies on the measurment of the indoor air pollution are presented in this paper.
The authors present the different techniques for the reduction of radon concentrations in buildings, mainly in individual buildings.
The particle contamination is well mastered whereas the molecular and microbiological contaminations are not : the existing purifying systems generally use the trapping but not the destruction of the contaminants.
The author presents an example of ventilation for high-standing collective dwellings with a system that combines thermal comfort and healthy ventilation.
