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.

In recent years, there has been increasing number of cases using the double skin façade to satisfy both the indoor views and energy saving.
Yuko Morishige, Yasuyuki Shiraishi
The impinging jet ventilation (IJV) system has been proposed as a new air distribution strategy and is expected to overcome the disadvantages of the mixing ventilation system (MV), which is the most widely used system, and displacement ventilation

Humidity-controlled mechanical exhaust ventilation (RH-MEV) has been widely used in France for over 35 years, demonstrating high durability and robustness.
Vasileios Filis, Kevin Michael Smith, Jakub Kolarik, Frédéric Kuznik, Lucie Merlier
The present paper describes an experimental test to identify the possible influences that the presence of plant species may have on the environmental quality of indoor spaces.
Fernando Martín-Consuegra, Arturo Martínez García, Guadalupe Gómez, Borja Frutos, Carmen Alonso, Marta Castellote, Eva Jiménez, Ignacio Oteiza
In a previous study, an optimal control method was proposed for typical office space in hot and humid regions where Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) are installed.

Throughout history, the human population has experienced major outbreaks of infectious diseases. In December 2019 the previously unknown SARS-CoV-2 virus emerged, which had a huge impact globally.
Marloes M.A. de Haas, Marcel G.L.C. Loomans, Marije te Kulve, Atze Boerstra, Helianthe S.M. Kort
Low or Zero Energy buildings are becoming increasingly popular and the use of passive-house principles are providing a solid foundation for achieving energy consumption targets and good indoor quality.
Theodoros Sotirios Tountas
This study aims to develop and evaluate an advanced control method for acceptable indoor air quality (e.g., particulate matter and CO2) with low energy consumption in a residential space.
Sun Ho Kim, Jeong Won Kim, Hyeun Jun Moon
The level of airtightness is increasing in newly built Australian apartments. An appropriate ventilation rate is needed to provide occupants with a healthy environment.
Mikael Boulic, Pierre Bombardier, Zain Zaidi, Andrew Russell, David Waters
Residential ventilation systems target in an energy efficient manner an indoor atmosphere fulfilling people’s desired comfort requirements with regard to CO2, temperature, and RH.
