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.
SARA aims to construct sustainable, cost effective, high energy performance, publicaccesseco-buildings that are immediately replicable at large scale in many locations.
The aim of the DEMOHOUSE project is to develop minimum standards andrecommendations for energy-efficient and sustainable renovation of social housingestates.
Innovative technologies and low energy solutions in the building industry are well known,but are often not preferred in refurbishment of public buildings.
The EU Member States (MS) have been gradually transposing and implementing theEnergy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) into their own national legislation sincethe Directive was adopted in January 2003.
In the frame of the SARA project – Sustainable Architecture applied to Replicable public Access buildings – the Catalan Energy Institute ICAEN carried out different training and dissemination activities taking advantage of synergies with activitie
In most graphs showing sector-by-sector energy use, buildings do not appear to have themost dominating role. But it has.
1.1. Depletion of oil reserves and global warming provide significant reasons to improveenergy management.1.2. UK final energy consumption by sector 2001 (Energy Consumption in the UnitedKingdom DTi)?? Services 18%?? Industry 25%?? Domestic 31%??
1.1 User behaviourMany reservations against energy conservation and renewable energies result from lack ofknowledge and ignorance on this subject in the different social, age and professionalgroups.
The Eco-Culture project has been set up to demonstrate the use of energy efficienttechnologies integrated into new built high-performing cultural buildings.
The roadmap for energy efficiency measures in the existing building stock was developedwithin the framework of the European Intelligent Energy Europe programme or moreprecisely in the project ENPER-EXIST, which started in January 2005 and ended in
An analysis of the energy consumption of the built environment in Europe shows that themain challenge to achieve substantial energy reductions in this sector lies in improving theenergy efficiency of the existing stock rather than in designing and
A Post Occupancy Evaluation was performed in the Administration and Student ServicesBuilding (ASSB) in Southampton University as part of the European project SustainableArchitecture Applied to Replicable Public-Access Buildings (SARA).
Most advantage eco buildings libraries select, organize, retrieve, and transmit tacit andexplicit information/knowledge.
Control related problems significantly contribute to high energy consumption in office andcommercial buildings.
The Integrated Project SARA in the 6th Framework Programme of the EuropeanCommission (EC) aimed to support the construction of seven sustainable, cost effective,high energy performed public-access eco-buildings which are immediately replicable atl
The paper deals with the concept of passive house in relation to the inside environmentand compares passive house and bioclimatic design. Bioclimatic design is an integral partof eco building oriented interventions in the built environment.

High standards of airtightness for building envelopes protect occupants against common outdoor air pollutants - especially pollen and mildew spores that occur seasonally in high concentrations and can penetrate indoor spaces.
