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.

To realize a desirable building environment by saving energy and low global emission, the author has been investigating passive systems in buildings where the environment is controlled biomimetically and autonomously by simulating the physiologica

A workshop was held in the fall of 2006 for the purpose of developing courses related to “Energy Efficient Integrated Sustainable Design for the Built Environment” for university, college, and vocational schools.
Colliver, D.
The application of a ventilation system in a new building is a multidimensional complex problem that involves both quantifiable and non-quantifiable data e.g.
Anker Hviid, C.; Svendsen, S.
In the world of design and engineering, gaps of knowledge between these disciplines are recognized. The learning capacity of the building industry – as well as in other industries – is becoming a main issue, also within Architect-organizations.
Quanje, E.; Zeiler, W.
Various means of improving the energy efficiency of commercial buildings while preservingand/or improving their internal environmental quality have been extensively studied.
Czachorski, M.; Kingston, T.; Wurm, J.
The installation of thermostatic valves and cost allocators represents the main modernizationmeasure of the heating installation. In this study we determined theoretically andexperimentally their effects upon the energy savings.

The use of bioclimatic solutions in architecture has been for a long time in Europe aconsolidated procedure, especially developed in northern countries.
Galli, G.; Muceli, C.A.; Ippolito, R.
A growing interest has been addressed to multi-energy systems in buildings that involve theintegration of different energy sources to cover the thermal and electrical loads of thebuilding.
Corrado, V.; Fabrizio, E.; Filippi, M.
The simulation of a building as a whole offers an image of its behaviour, reflecting thecomplex relation established between the outdoor environment factors, the buildingcharacteristics, the use by its occupants, and the parameters which intervene
Bliuc, I.; Rotberg, R.; Dumitrescu, L.
The paper discusses the newly revised ASHRAE GreenGuide, particularly as it relates to thetopic of indoor environmental quality.
Swift, J.; Lawrence, T.M.
A global methodology is developed to optimize concepts for extremely low energy dwellings, taking into account energy savings, environmental impact and financial costs over the life cycle of the buildings.
