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 ongoing covid-19 pandemic has drawn the attention on the importance of providing adequate fresh air to the occupants of the built environment, in particular in educational buildings.
In order to reduce the primary energy consumption of buildings, highly efficient heat recovery of the HVAC system is indispensable.
The fan pressurization method that is widely used to measure the airtightness of buildings is known to have quite large measurement error.
In the current era, sensors in buildings have become an essential requirement for wide applications such as monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ), thermal and environmental conditions, controlling building heating, ventilation, an
Improving actual operation performance of room air conditioners (RAC) shows great importance in the indoor environment and building energy conversation.
Air leakage in a rotary heat recovery device in air handling unit (AHU) was studied by a laboratory experiment.
Cooling in high ambient temperature (HAT) countries is a major energy consumer. In Kuwait, 70% of the electricity generated is consumed on cooling residential and commercial buildings.
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) inactivates viral aerosols in indoor environments. Upper room UVGI systems use wall or ceiling mounted fixtures to create a disinfection zone above the occupied zone.
Our planet is rapidly urbanizing, leading to significant biodiversity loss.
Unintended airflow through building envelopes leads to an increased demand in heating and cooling energy.
Unintended Infiltration in buildings is responsible for a significant portion of the global housing stock energy demand.
Worldwide concern has been focused on the airborne disease of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Maintaining thermal comfort in buildings has become a big challenge in developing countries.
Building simulations are used to investigate building performance and design the building systems optimally.
This study aims to use the WELL Building Standard (v2), an internationally recognised rating system for health & wellbeing in buildings, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the effect of wellbeing measures
Indoor environmental quality in educational buildings is recognized as a crucial aspect for the achievement of the learning outcomes for students.
The primary purpose of ventilation and air-conditioning system is to ensure internal comfort conditions through a continuous supply of air and maintaining the assumed indoor parameters.
Urbanization has led to systemic environmental factors that degrade air quality and microbial diversity, negatively impacting human health and wellbeing.
The present study investigates acoustic comfort in naturally ventilated residential buildings through an indoor soundscape approach.
