LoginUtilizing renewable energy systems (RES) is an important part of the design and development of greenbuildings.
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 ventilation efficiency of different ventilation patterns inside a room containing one person and officefurniture arranged by different inlet/outlet configurations was investigated.
Hot water is an essential requirement in most Residence. Gas, electricity and furnace oil are beingused for obtaining hot water. These sources are not readily available and are scarce in a part of Japanat present.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from various sources may adversely affect human health,comfort and performance.
Rapidly growing electricity demand brings into question the ability of traditional grids to expandcorrespondingly while providing reliable service.
Hazardous compounds emitted during the plastic melting process were analyzed to indicate potentialair pollution issues associated with recycle plants for waste plastics.
“Tatami” is a traditional Japanese building material used as a floor mat made with rush. It used to be said that the smell of tatami is preferred by many Japanese, because almost all Japanese houses have had tatami rooms since early times.
The Shinjuku Park Tower building is a large building complex built in Tokyo in1993 that includes officespace, a shopping zone, and a hotel.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in many ways is a methodology which building industry is looking towardsto give the answers on how to assess sustainability of buildings.
The measurement of moisture in building fabrics has been of interest for many years due to thepotentially devastating consequences of moisture problems within buildings.
In past 20 years, the average prevalence of asthma in China has been growing up from 0.9 % to about3.0 %. We carried out these studies to find out the reasons and relative molecular mechanisms.
The large sample size test and statistic of thermophysical parameters of natural ventilated residentialbuildings in hot-summer and cold-winter area, including the indoor air temperature, relative humidity,and wind speed, was performed in this stud
The purpose of this work is to combine negative air ions and mechanical filters to remove indoorsuspended particulates.
This paper presents a numerical study of the coupled airflow and thermal environment in asemi-enclosed space surrounded by buildings.
Traditional method for measuring airborne microbes is based on two procedures called sampling andincubation.
Study on existing indoor thermal environment is becoming more and more important for design of theindoor thermal environment and the application of energy-saving technology.
The results of a case study are presented focusing on efforts to conserve energy in an existing cityblock by physically connecting a number of existing buildings with pipes and cables and aCogeneration System (CGS), and then exchange energy among
The concentrations of ozone, particles (PM10 and PM2.5) and ultra-fine particles were measured duringdriving the automobile and during standing. Two ventilation modes were prepared; 1) all fresh air modeand 2) all re-circulation mode.
Motorized sun-controlled louvers and electrically heated glasses are installed in NIKKEN SEKKEITokyo Bldg. A lot of highly effective equipment systems are set up in this building.
In recent years, the aspect and behavior inside a bathroom and an appurtenant changing room havebeen changing.
