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.

Indoor climate has a distinct influence on productivity and sick leave of employees.
Wim Plokker and Aad Wijsman
Artificial lighting contributes for a large part to the primary energy use of an office building. Lighting control systems can help reduce the lighting energy use.

In-duct ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) systems treat moving air streams in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to inactivate airborne microorganisms.
William Bahnfleth, Bruno Lee, Josephine Lau, James Freihaut
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) systems use 254 nm UVC radiation to inactivate microorganisms in the air and on surfaces.
Bruno Lee, William Bahnfleth and Katja Auer
With the increasing awareness of sustainable development in the construction industry, implementation of an energy rating procedure to assess buildings is becoming more important.
Ya Roderick, David McEwan, Craig Wheatley and Carlos Alonso
The drive to reduce UK Carbon Emissions directly associated with dwellings and to achieve a zero carbon home dictates that Renewable Energy Technologies will have an increasingly large role in the built environment.
Murphy, G B, Kummert M, Anderson B R and Counsell J
Today, many building software tools for evaluating energy efficiency are available. More than three hundred are listed by the US Department of Energy.
Adrien Brun, Clara Spitz,Etienne Wurtz and Laurent Mora
Decisions made in the very first stages of a building’s design often have a significant impact on energy efficiency and internal environment of the building.
Michael Pollock, Ya Roderick, David McEwan, Craig Wheatley
This paper outlines a novel methodology for calibrating building energy simulation (BES) models through the use of an evidence-based approach and detailed simulation modelling.
Paul Raftery, Marcus Keane and Andrea Costa
Extensive energy modeling was used during the design process of the Aldo Leopold Foundation Legacy Center in Baraboo, Wisconsin (USA) both to minimize the building’s overall projected energy use and in a number of instances to determine whether pr

The Aldo Leopold Legacy Center is designed to be a net-zero energy building.  This paper explains how simulation modelling was integrated into the design process to achieve the design goals.
D. Michael UTZINGER and David E. BRADLEY
In this paper we present a case study about the application of dynamic simulation to asses the energy performance of a building in the context of a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification.
