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.

Garages require ventilation because the exhaust fumes produced by the vehicles have to be discharged. This can be achieved with a mechanical or a natural ventilation system.

The purpose of this study is to test the Launder-Sharma low Reynolds number k-e model. This model is intended to improve the forecasting of aerothermal behaviour in air conditioned rooms. The model is based on the high Reynolds number k-e mode

The new units of perceived air quality, the olf and the decipol, are introduced. Research using these units has been used to argue that current recommended ventilation rates are inadequate for comfort.

Swiss topography is dominated by the Alps and the Jura in the north-west part and the most densely populated "Midlands" between the two.

This paper presents the estimation of air infiltration in a building using the COMIS multi-zone model.
