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.
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 study presents a theoretical method that can quickly and accurately identify the locations and strengths of multiple constant contaminant sources indoors by using a single or a limited number of ideal sensors.
This paper deals with the results of an investigation into the freecooling efficiency in a low energy building using a PCM/air heat exchanger coupled with the me-chanical ventilation.
Various building energy use modeling methods have been applied to existing buildings in order to understand building energy performance and improve energy efficiency. There are widely used models based on physical principles and historical data.
Model based exchange has the potential to improve the process of information exchange between different disciplines (Eastman, 2006), such as architect and engineer.
Swirl diffusers can create better air mixing to enhance indoor air quality and help achieve compliance with Green Star IEQ-2 through Air Change Effectiveness (ACE) measure but the lack of modelling guidelines gives rise to the use of various model
This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing natural ventilation through operable windows to provide ventilation and summer cooling for an existing university dormitory building in marine west coastal climate (warm summer and mild winter).
The Soccer World Cup in Qatar 2022 has started a discussion on thermal comfort in soccer stadia, particularly in hot and humid climates and their related energy consumption.
Low temperature heating and high temperature cool-ing systems such as thermally activated building sys-tems (TABS) offer the chance to use low exergy sources, which can be very beneficial financially as well as ecologically when using renewable en
