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.
We consider the local aspects of vehicular pollution by wind tunnel testing used in conjunction with a tracer-gas technique.
Increased concern over the adverse environmental impact of energy use has encouraged the design and construction of energy efficient buildings, and many are suited to natural ventilation.
The role of ventilation in the housing stock is to provide fresh air and to dilute internally-generated pollutants in order to assure adequate indoor air quality.
Presents the results of measurements of the air leakage of 12 large office buildings. Various different construction types have been tested, with four of the buildings being naturally ventilated and the remainder air-conditioned.
What is the relationship between ventilation and allergy? What is the significance of the increased incidence of house dust mites? And what part does ventilation play in relation to the Sick Building Syndrome?
Finding the appropriate software may prove a difficult and time consuming exercise.
A significant amount of the electrical energy used to cool non-residential buildings equipped with all-air systems is drawn by the fans that transport the cool air through the thermal distribution system.
Elevated temperatures in urban 'heat islands' increase cooling energy use and accelerate the formation of urban smog. Urban shade _trees and light-colored surfaces can offset or reverse the heat island and conceive energy.
The objectives of this work are: first to determine the theoretical energy requirements per constant mien unit of outdoor air used for ventilation for a number of different climates and locations in North America and Europe; and secondly to determ
Three ventilation systems were installed in the EA Technology Ventilation Test House: passive stack ventilation (PSV), mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) and extract fans.
The paper presents the results of a simulation study performed by means of the COMIS multizone infiltration and ventilation model.
