LoginAccurately controlling the amount of outdoor air brought into a building is a major factor in ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ).
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.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
A new ventilated cooledbeam system concept with free cooling has been installed and monitored in a retrofitted office building in the Wartsila NSD Finland complex in Vaasa, Finland.
The paper presents some of the findings from a broader investigation aimed at determining thermal comfort design conditions for combined chilled ceiling/ displacement ventilation environments.
Until now, there is no widely accepted way to express any index for this purpose and taking into account the large variety of possible pollutants.
The ventilation performance in 59 terraced houses of similar construction was investigated using a passive tracer gas technique.
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of 4 kinds of ventilation systems from the point of view of indoor air pollution and energy need during heating season under Japanese conditions by numerical simulation.
The influence of a cooled ceiling on the air quality in a displacement ventilated room is examined by means of CFD.
