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.
The round-robin test of Czech airtightness providers was organised in order to obtain information about the measurement equipment generally used and in order to compare the test results given by different technicians operating with different devic
During the BlowerDoor building test, it must be ensured that all building parts of the test building or the test section have air connection, and that the test object can be considered one single zone.
Experiences in air permeability: round-robin tests in Germany by FLiB e. V. | 2011 | English, German
The Association for Air Tightness in Buildings (FLiB e.V.) offers air tightness testing teams the possibility to check their testing performance as well as that of their equipment.
The manufactures tests of windows in Europe are executed in accordance with the CE-directive. Air- and water tightness testing are performed in accordance with EN 1026 and classified in accordance with EN12207.
This presentation will give an introduction to the approach of determining the required number of testing fans when conducting air tightness measurements of large buildings.
The objective of the WTA* data sheet “Air tightness in existing buildings” is to support planners and contractors in modernizing and renovating buildings.
Building and ductwork airtightness represent a key challenge towards very-low energy buildings and therefore towards the ambitious 2020 targets set in the recast of the energy performance of buildings directive.
We ventilate buildings to provide acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ).
Capture efficiency (CE) of exhaust from a natural gas cooking range was quantified for three common designs of residential range hoods in laboratory experiments: (A) microwave exhaust combination; (B) short hood with grease-screen-covered air inl
The installed performance of cooking exhaust fans was evaluated through residential field experiments conducted on a sample of 15 devices varying in design and other characteristics.
There are various demands for air-conditioning in each office space resulting from the variability of thermal distribution caused by a bias of heat sources. Furthermore, individual demands on the thermal environment are diverse.
Nowadays, the ceiling slot diffuser is very popular in offices.
Mixing and displacement ventilation are common systems in commercial buildings, while mixing ventilation is used in residential buildings.
Distributed demand control ventilation (DDCV) has shown potential for improving both indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption over conventional ventilation systems.
Hybrid ventilation systems combine the superior properties of natural and mechanical ventilation systems to reduce energy consumption.
Ventilation systems are primarily designed for ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ). However, building energy requirements tend to put demand on reducing air change rates.
Stratum ventilation is a recently proposed air distribution system. It works by creating a layer of fresher air in the occupants' breathing zone.
Nowadays many people spend most of their time indoors, so the quality of indoor air has significantly impacted human health and comfort.
Hybrid ventilation represents an interesting option both to guarantee good air quality for indoor environments and to reduce the energy consumption related to the mechanical motivation of the air.
