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.
In this study, the odor generation of various components of air handling units was investigated. Results how that air handling system really can deteriorate the perceived air quality of the supply air.
A nine-home field study was conducted to investigate the impact of mechanical air duct cleaning (ADC) methods on indoor air quality (IAQ) and system performance. ADC services were provided by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA).
Concerning artificial ventilation of interiors, microbial processes on air filters are assumed to cause pollution of the supply air with possible damage to the exposed persons' health.
Ventilation systems may in some cases be a major contributor to indoor air pollution. Several studies have shown that the pollution mainly originates from the filters. Microbial growth in the filters is seen as a cause for this pollution.
Recent concerns have been expressed with regard to emissions of glass fibers from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HV AC) systems.
Perceived air quality, symptoms, and perception of the environment were studied in a naturally ventilated office building in which a felt carpet was substituted by linoleum on the first floor and by polyolefine floor tiles, known from previous stu
A comparison is made between two thermal simulation modelling programs with particular reference to HVAC plant modelling.
This paper summarizes a two volume National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) report entitled "Home Energy Rating System Building Energy Simulation Test (HERS BESTEST)" (Judkoff and Neymark, 1995a).
The design of a naturally ventilated atrium was assessed using both wind tunnel and CFD methods to appraise and modify the response of the system to wind forces.
This paper presents the results of a neuro fuzzy control setting the fan-coils air flow rate of three zones of a dwelling to improve the comfort.
This paper presents a methodology to effectively model the performance of central chilled water plants in campus or multi-building complexes where detailed modeling of every building served by the plant is out of the question, usually due to budge
A new system for accessing wall and roof transfer function coefficients has been developed.
This work describes the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of flow and pollutant dispersion around a cube.
A randomised approach to multiple regression analysis of building energy simulation | 1997 | English
Multiple regression analysis (MRA) is useful for developing energy prediction equations from the results of building energy simulation.
Computer models used for analyzing heat transfer have been developed and computerized for the precise thermal analysis of two typical prefabricated radiant floor heating panels.
