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.
A technically and socially innovative housing project at Hockerton in Nottinghamshire has set out to implement the Agenda 21 principles on a local scale.
Natural night-time ventilation is often used to pre-cool low energy buildings, but can lead to security risks and weather damage. A prototype night ventilator has been built to combat such problems, but how has it performed in field tests?
Pressure pans are often misused, and the information they provide can mislead the inexperienced.
The aim of this research was to investigate the flow pattern around a test room which is used for natural ventilation studies.
This paper reports the background, status, and current outcome of a collaborative European Union sponsored international project, which aims to promote computer modeling and simulation of energy in buildings by creating hypertextbased self-Leaming
