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.
Apartment buildings are the most common type of residence in Korea, but since the 1970s it was difficult to supply fresh air due to airtight exterior walls that were constructed with energy conservation in mind.
Technology in building physics and mechanical engineering for building ventilation may not be totally new area and must have rather long history and much knowledge accumulation of their own.
The Polish ventilation market is changing rapidly.
The paper presents an overview on building ventilation, indoor air quality and energy requirements in Brazil.
Regulations, standards and market practices are reviewed.
VIP 22: Trends in the US building ventilation market and drivers for changes | 2008 | English | 7 pp
The residential ventilation market is changing rapidly in the United States.
Dwellings are going from having no designed ventilation systems to have to meet specific requirements.
IAQ and ventilation is given rather high attention in the Norwegian building industry.
The new energy demands, basically an implementation of the EPBD, are a major driver for change.
Performance based indoor climate and ventilation regulations, having mainly been based on the requirements for the end result with fewer requirements for the system description, supported by a voluntary advanced indoor climate classification and l
Building ventilation has been covered by French regulations for many years.
This Information Paper has been written in the framework of the Building AdVent project and reviews recent changes in the Building Regulations in England and Wales introduced in 2006 to facilitate the implementation of the EPBD.
This VIP focuses on best practice, as well as challenges, for the conditioning of the indoor environment in passenger aircraft cabins, and their implications from a ventilation stand-point.
The 2nd European BlowerDoor Symposium “Airtight building envelope, thermography and dwelling-ventilation” took place on the16th and 17th March 2007 in Kassel, Germany.
Air tightness is an important property of building envelopes. It is a key factor in determining infiltration and related wall-performance properties such as indoor air quality, maintainability and moisture balance.

At a workshop held in Paris during February 2008, more than 140 public and private sector stakeholders representing 29 countries and numerous intergovernmental and other organizations examined the scope to maximize energy efficiency by improving t
This paper gives the status on the regulation on ventilation in the different regions of Belgium for residential and non residential buildings.
A survey was conducted to determine occupant use of windows and mechanical ventilation devices; barriers that inhibit their use; satisfaction with indoor air quality (IAQ); and the relationship between these factors.
The objective of this work package was to develop a quality/performance control tool-box model – a concept from design to post construction life long management, using also BEMS/REMS-type procedures and prevailing methods.
In European demonstration projects the main interest is in new technologies and in how tospread the application of best practices. Strategies to manage processes and to involvestakeholders are less developed.
The BRITA in PuBs project (Bringing Retrofit Innovation To Application in Public Buildings)aims at increasing the market penetration of innovative and effective retrofit solutions toimprove energy efficiency and implement renewables, with moderate
