LoginThat study shows that positive application of the principal component approach to analyse the complex subjectives responses of subjects.
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.
Two experimental studies were carried out to examine the influence of indoor air carbon-dioxide pollutant concentration on human well-being and the intensity of mental work.
In order to tally with the demanding requirements placed on compact ventilated units (CVUs), a testing facility has been developed. It is described in this paper.
How the use of ventilation equipment influences humidity and the thermal environment in a bathroom is the aim of this paper.
The cooling effect of a Cool chair is examined in this paper with is its ability to affect the user's psychology thanks to its thermal adjustibility. The air is drawn into the seat and backrest and can be blown out through the armrests.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of (UFAD) system in controlling thermal comfort and indoor air quality in office building.
Typical modes of air distribution such as ceiling supply and under-floor supply systemshave been investigated by using a breathing thermal manikin in a field environmental chamber.
In Korea, "Ondol" a radiant heating system is widely used but it is not satisfying with ventilation, so this study aims at developing a ventilation system to improve thermal environment and ventilation rates.
Field measurements have been carried in commercial kitchen to assess the performance of ventilated ceiling system, hanging the combination of ventilation rate and operating electrical appliances in order to find the best control method to realize
This objective of that study is to clarify the numbers and species of bacteria and fungi present on the surfaces of air filters at various temperatures and relative humidity.
For that study two different rectangular test chambers of different size(9.37 m3 and 0.14 m3) were realised, in order to analyze the behaviour of fine particles deposition in rooms and to show the influence of airflow velocity on it..
The objective of that study is to analyze the influence of outdoor air and sypply air system on particle levels, along with the effect of indoor sources on them.
The ventilation of two newly built school buildings in Finland are compared in that study, one of the experimental building is equipped with fan assisted natural ventilation and the other one with mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation system
In this paper the results of the "Integral Design Methodologyy" workshop for sustainable comfort systems are presented. The objective was to reduce failure costs and to improve design quality for ventilation concepts.
For that study indoor and outdoor temperatures were recorded (respectively every 20 s and 1 minute) for 10 apartments houses in Japan during summer-autumn with the intention to investigate the relationships between ratios of air conditioner use a
In this paper a number of comfort indicators required for the assessment of indoor environmental building performance are presented, they both include temporal variation and the degree of discomfort perceived by the occupant.
A general analysis of technologies aiming at improving indoor air quality in Polish schools is described in this paper. A case study shool was selected for the comparison of selected technologies for ventilation system.
A statistical interpretation of nearly 8 000 individual questionnaires on perceived indoor environment has been made.
A realistic simulation experiment was conducted on students in a climate chamber, the objective of the laboratory experiments was to evaluate the quantitative effects of the air quality and thermal environments on learning performance High-ventila
A field experiment was conducted in a primary school in 3 steps : first Personal Air Quality (PAQ) was assessed with the used bag-filters present in the air supply path, then when the bag filters had been removed, and finally when filters were r
