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.

Repeated measurements were taken in a printers' office where one case of humidifier lung disease had occurred.

The association of moisture damages of school buildings with microbial indoor air quality and health status of school children was studied.
Meklin T, Husman T, Vepselainen A, et al
The aim of the study was to follow changes in allergens and airborne particles in the indoor environment during the first year in a newly started school.
Elfman L, Schoeps K, Wessen B, Gambe A, Nybom R
Measurements of VOC, formaldehyde, temperature, relative humidity, ventilation and inspections of humidity related problems were made in 178 randomly selected Swedish dwellings.
Bornehag C, Stridh G
This case study conducted in a new air-conditioned building in Singapore was aimed at identifying, and assessing indoor levels of VOCs using a GC-MS method. The study identified 80 different compounds with Toluene appearing in all locations.

In this study we evaluated the diffusion of nitrous oxide in a few operating rooms, using spatial data modelling techniques, in order to assess hospital staff exposure and to promote risk management.
Moscato U, Esposito T, Vanini G
To investigate the dispersion of aerosols in an airflow, a test facility was build at the HermannRietschel- Institute.

This study examines the influence of ventilation on chemical reactions among indoor pollutants. We have used a one compartment mass balance model to simulate unimolecular and bimolecular reactions occurring indoors.
Weschler C J, Shields H C
The aim was to develop a multiple logistic regression model to identify multi-family houses with an increase of sick building syndrome (SBS).
Engvall K, Norrby C, Bandel J, Hult M, Norback D
The present paper refers to the numerical prediction of air velocities and temperatures inside single-sided naturally ventilated buildings and more specifically the special case in which air from the external environment is brought into the buildi
