LoginBibliographic 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.
In a fitting tribute to the new millennium, ASHRAE issued ASHRAE/ IESN A Standard 90 .1-1999, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings at the Winter Meeting in Dallas in February.
Positive input ventilation systems for dealing with dampness in dwellings have been available for many years, but do they really reduce condensation? A DETR-funded research project has provided some answers
The article describes experiments with wall-mounted air terminal devices.
This paper describes the measurements and evaluation of the indoor thermal environments in a large domed stadium. This stadium was built mainly for professional baseball games, but it has a lot of other purposes.
This paper provides a theoretical error analysis of common airflow measurement and control techniques to maintain minimum outside air intake rates in variable air volume (VA V) systems.
Relations between indoor neutral temperatures and outdoor temperatures are currently proposed as an "adaptive standard" to supplement ASHRAE Standard 55-1992. They rest on the 1998 ASHRAE database.
A series of experiments was carried out to study the effect of temperature and humidity on the perception of indoor air quality.
Angle factors between a human body and rectangular planes are calculated by a numerical model.
High outdoor ventilation air requirements can lead to significant increases in building energy use, thermal discomfort, indoor air quality problems, and litigation.
A building energy management system (BEMS) generally monitors and manages energy usage in commercial buildings.
Part I of this paper discussed the theoretical considerations of creating a nonlinear black box model.
