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.
MCA is a partner in a research group which is being funded by the European Commissions JOULE program to explore the application of passive downdraught evaporative cooling (PDEC) in non-domestic buildings (I).
The paper discusses the performance or a construction element: the Roof Solar Collector (RSC) with regard to the rate of induced natural ventilation which contribute to improve houses indoor thermal comfort.
This report provides the results of a two-phased study conducted for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to examine the practices and variability amongst practitioners of contaminated sites risk assessment in Canada.
This paper describes a methodology based on computational and analytical modelling techniques in the prediction of building internal pressure gain functions.
In connection with the research programme "Healthy Buildings", a building with indoor air quality problems was selected for further investigations. A Danish town hall was chosen because of many complaints over several years.
Canada's Space Centre in St Hubert, Quebec, is a new 27,870 m2 complex which was awarded first place in the ASHRAE Technology Awards (1996) for new commercial buildings.
General Dynamics Armament Systems was looking for a way to improve the performance of the ventilation system in their Lakeside Avenue industrial plant in Burlington, Vermont.
The purpose of this report is to summarise the work of IEA Annex 18 on demand controlled ventilation.
