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 effects of different kinds of room ventilation were evaluated in an experimental chamber and in kitchens of four residences in Beijing.
A great number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are found in the indoor air of office buildings, emitted mainly by the building materials, the consumer products used, the furnishing, office equipment, smoking, mechanical ventilation systems an
This study examines technical issues of residential forced-air space conditioning systems incorporating heating, ventilation and cooling in the context of increasingly energy efficient new housing.
The paper describes the characteristics of different types of pollutant sources in the way that they are experienced in a fixed locality in an urban area.
Both building performance and occupants' thermal comfort are influenced by heat conduction, convection and radiation as well as condensation/evaporation.
