LoginLocal exhaust ventilation systems are normally the most cost efficient method for controlling air pollutants and excessive heat.
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.
There has been lack of fact-based knowledge for design and operation of supply-air filters for general industrial ventilation.
Application of industrial painting is often carried out by air-atomization. In this case, health hazards arise from the exposure to solid and liquid aerosols as well as to solvent vapors.
For exhaust systems that handle dusts, a minimum transport velocity is required to prevent settling and plugging of ductwork. The minimum transport velocity required was studied experimentally for different kinds of dusts.
As part of a long-term investigation into fabric energy storage systems, EA Technology has been monitoring the headquarters of Weidmuller Interface, the first UK application of Termodeck, since the building was occupied in July 1994.
Two specific areas are addressed: (1) The necessity for effective estimates of infiltration rates in buildings; and (2) The dependence of vapor compression air conditioning systems on refrigerant charge.
PASSPORT Plus is a new building thermal simulation tool, developed in the framework of PASCOOL.
Europe. Numerous studies have been devoted to the analysis of the physical phenomena related to natural ventilation. These phenomena are very complex and our degree of understanding them often leaves a lot to be desired.
Ventilating a fire compartment during operational fire fighting procedures may have unpredictable consequences.
