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.

Typical HVAC noise may produce an uncomfortable environment, leading to the associated problems of general dissatisfaction and reduced productivity.
Leventhall H G, Wise S S
This paper presents general guidance on designing for thermal comfort in combined chilled ceiling/displacement ventilation environments.
Loveday D L, Parsons K C, Taki A H
Unsolicited complaints from 23,500 occupants in 690 commercial buildings were examined with regard to absolute and relative frequency of complaints, temperatures at which thermal sensation complaints (too hot or too cold) occurred, and response ti

Thermal anemometers with omnidirectional sensors are recommended in the standards to be used for low-velocity measurements indoors. Requirements for the directional sensitivity of the velocity sensor are prescribed.
Stannov T, Melikon A K
A comprehensive investigation was made of the dynamic behavior of five low-velocity thermal anemometers with omnidirectional sensors. Both the shape of the dynamic response curves of the instruments and their dynamic response were different.
Melikov A K, Popiolek Z, Jorgensen F E
Thermal anemometers with heated velocity sensors are mostly used for low-velocity measurements in rooms.
Popiolek Z, Melikov A K, Jorgensen F E, et al
A study was made of the impact of well-documented random velocity fluctuations and periodic temperature fluctuations with different amplitudes and frequencies on the accuracy of the mean velocity and the standard deviation of the velocity measured
Melikov A K, Langkilde G, Madsen T L
In this paper, new requirements for the characteristics of anemometers used for low-velocity measurements indoors, as well as requirements for the signal processing, are presented The static calibration, dynamic response, and temperature compensat

The subject of this paper is the experimental determination of the flow characteristics of three-dimensional wall jets. The jets were produced from a diffuser with a rectangular outlet.
