LoginInterest in aerosols in the indoor environment has increased as a result of interest in fine particles in the urban environment and their health effects, and how indoor air concentrations and settles dust levels depend on the main variables, su
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.
Describes the Orkney Housing Association (OHA) Low Energy Housing Pilot Project, which demonstrates that it is possible to construct airtight buildings in the UK with minimal additional expenditure.
The ventilation standard was investigated in a large number of school buildings located in Gothenburg, Sweden as part of a current large-scale renovation programme. This article reports on experiences from the reconstruction work involved.
In the Netherlands, many attempts have been made to introduce and implement advanced energy efficient domestic ventilation systems.
Outlines the history and possible causes of sick building syndrome, together with the problems of various ventilation systems.
An introduction to the Internet which illustrates the range of information available and shows hoe in a short time it is possible to become connected and operational on the Internet.
Provides a platform for the dissemination of information related to infiltration, ventilation, indoor air quality and energy use within buildings by means of a survey and analysis of current research.
Summarises research into the positioning of air intakes to avoid contamination of ventilation air. Based on current research, it attempts to demonstrate various ways in which the pollution at air intakes can be minimized at the design stage.
