LoginThe Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre s Numerical Database has been developed in response to a need to establish a core of numerical data suitable for design purposes and model validation.
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.
The specialists of IEA BCS Annex 26 have a clear picture of designer needs. The project objectives have not changes, but emphasis will now be place on the most relevant problems related to air motion, temperature distribution, and energy use.
This paper presents a research project, of which the primary goal was to investigate the possibilities of designing a natural ventilation system with heat recovery solely driven by the indoor-outdoor temperature difference.
Summary report and evaluation of the Roomvent 94 conference in air distribution in rooms. The roomvent conferences are dedicated to problems if aero- and thermo-dynamics of ventilated rooms.
A new multizone airflow and contaminant dispersal program CONTAM93 is described.
Discusses the issues which influence the performance of heat recovery devices within typical building applications.
The measurement techniques used to obtain ventilation effectiveness parameters require the infection of a tracer gas followed by the sampling of air at a number of points in the space.
Interim report giving results of measurements on thermal environment and air tightness of a scale model experimental atrium carried out from February to April 1994.
A recently proposed tracer gas method - the homogeneous emission technique-which is suitable for measurement of ventilation air distribution in large enclosures is explained.
