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.
The Interactive Window hair System was a sterling effort by Colt International, aimed at developing an integrated and modular product for use in naturally ventilated buildings.
The Canning Crescent Centre was monitored as part of the European NatVent™ project to provide a case study of the performance of a naturally ventilated building located in an urban area.
When it comes to energy efficiency analysis, you have specific needs. Chances are, there's a software package out there that fits your needs. But if you're new to the world of energy software, it's hard to know where to start.
An innovative energy management program has been successfully implemented at Mount Isa Mines, Mount Isa. Situated in Australia's north-western Queensland, remote from any electrical grids, Mount Isa Mines, owned by M.l.M.
The Tokyo Gas Kohoku NT Building, completed in March 1996, was built with the objective of achieving overall savings of energy and natural resources throughout the entire life cycle of the building, from construction to demolition.
The Doxford Solar Office is claimed to be the first in Europe with an integrated photovoltaic facade and an holistic energy strategy. How has the building performed since completion?
NatVent™ is a European JOULE project that has studied ways of 'Overcoming technical barriers to low energy natural ventilation in office-type buildings in moderate and cold climates'.
mechanical ventilation is needed to avoid indoor air quality problems. Many new conventional houses have low natural air change rates ...... and are tight enough to require mechanical ventilation, but most have none.
The ventilation in Norwegian residences was studied with respect to the effect of new standards, construction techniques adopted, and energy conservation measures implemented This was compared to residential ventilation performance in other count
The ventilation effectiveness concept has been extensively used in research, where it has long been recognised as a good indicator of air quality.
