LoginWorldwide, the demand for airtightness tests of tall buildings with a height of approximately 100 m is increasing.
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.
Purpose of the work
Weltweit steigt die Nachfrage nach Luftdichtheitsprüfungen von hohen Gebäuden mit einer Höhe ab ca. 100 m.
I would like to report on lessons learned in the field regarding two measurements at a special, particularly airtight and unusual building: A "concrete shell for CO2 storage in recycled concrete aggregates".
In Dänemark hat ein Hersteller und Händler von Dampfsperrbahnen ein ungewöhnliches Verhalten beobachtet. Die Membranen wurden in einem kleinen Haus installiert und zeigen, dass das System zunächst dicht ist.
Ziel der Arbeit / Fragestellung
Nowadays, it is unquestionable the fact that building airtightness impacts the energy and ventilation performance of buildings.
In Denmark, a manufacturer and dealer of vapor barrier membranes has observed unusual behavior. The membranes were installed in a small house and show that the system can be set up and be tight.
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
Purpose of the work
Heute steht außer Frage, dass die Gebäudeluftdichtheit die Energie- und Lüftungsleistung von Gebäuden beeinflusst.
Luftdichtheit ist Pflicht und damit auch Lüftungskonzepte. Heute ein Haus ohne Lüftungs-anlage zu bauen / sanieren, ist energetisch nicht sinnvoll.
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.8 summarizes current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in China.
AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.7 summarizes current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Greece.
Many differences exist between countries in the requirements and regulations for ventilation of dwellings, offices, classrooms and other spaces.
Ventilation, IEQ and health in sustainable buildings (Book of Proceedings) | 2023 | English | 978 pp
The Book of Proceedings of the 43rd AIVC - 11th TightVent - 9th venticool Conference: "Ventilation, IEQ and health in sustainable buildings" held in Copenhagen, Denmark on 4-5 October 2023.
The measurement of particulate matter (PM) in rooms has gained interest in the last decade.
In the context of energy saving, new buildings are becoming more airtight and purpose-provided, often central mechanical ventilation is required to create and sustain a healthy indoor air quality (IAQ).
To reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment, a significant overhaul of the existing housing stock is essential.
