LoginIn recent years, volatile organic compounds have caused chemical sensitivity by increasing indoor airpollutant concentrations.
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.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
The previous paper (Part 1) proposed the concept of "equivalent material age" that uses the Arrheniusrelation and explained a method for long-term prediction of indoor volatile organic compound (VOC)concentration considering temperature dependence
The purpose of this study is to determine how levels of indoor air quality vary in elementary schools insouthern Japan.
Even in relatively warm areas in Japan, frost damage of roof tiles occurs. In the field of material scienceand technology, the mechanism of frost damage has been investigated.
The present paper deals with modeling of various low-exergy system components and their integrationinto the energy system for buildings and small communities.
Korean residential buildings have been airtight due to the energy economization plan since 1970’s energy crisis. As a result of this, the residential buildings have faced lack of ventilation and resulted in poor indoor air quality of buildings.
Assumptions of productivity costs related to the outdoor supply airflow rate and indoor temperature canbe made based on a number of recent studies.
This study aims to investigate and clarify the effects of roadside trees and moving automobiles onoutdoor airflow distribution, turbulent diffusion of air pollutants and thermal environment within streetcanyons by means of the results obtained fro
In this paper, the indoor environmental quality for the commuter train space was analyzed for assumingthe load factor of seat capacity to be a parameter of analysis.
The objective of this study is to provide research results of the actual conditions concerning theconcentrations of PM10, PM2.5, PM1 and CO2 among particle and gaseous pollutants in a subwaycarriage.
Airflow characteristics in ventilated and air-conditioned spaces play an important role to attain comfortand hygiene conditions.
This paper reviews the previous attempts to evaluate the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), investigatespreviously proposed IAQ factors and analyses the evaluation methods of these factors.
The Egyptian community in its path for rapid development is endeavouring to make all necessary andappropriate measures to enhance the efficiency of energy utilization and increase the beneficiation ofthe energy resources.
Specific and effective measures for international issues, such as prevention of global warming, energysaving, reduction of environmental loads, are urgently required.The improvement of the insulation efficiency of the house and the building is dem
Field measurements of the indoor climate have been carried out in 128 lightweight timber-framedetached houses in Finland and in Estonia during the years 2002-2005.
In recent years, in the quest focused about energy conservative building design, as a high efficiencyair conditioning scheme, the variable air volume (VAV) systems owe their growing popularity in heating,ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) app
This paper reports the effects of air quality and thermal environment on motivation and performance forstudents.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the indoor thermal environment and ventilation efficiencycreated by various heating and ventilation systems using CFD.
This study aimed to investigate volatile organic compound (VOC) emission fluxes from a new air filtermedia and a used one.
Increase in high-rise residential building has changed the envelope of residential building to aluminumcurtain wall which requires the use of the single-sided ventilation to be used instead of the crossventilation.
