LoginThis paper describes the analytical results of heating energy consumption monitoring and the determinationof heat protection levels for both single-family and multi-family buildings in Russia.
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.
Experimental U-values based on measured heat flows through the walls of some houses have been found to be significantly higher than predicted by conventional calculation procedures.
Educating staff, parents and caretakers at a Swedish playschool on energy conservation measures has reduced the school's annual energy consumption by 10 %.
The Energy Letter concept was introduced in autumn 1989 in a move to provide home-owners with a statistical breakdown of their water and electricity consumption.

Local age of air and air change effectiveness were determined in two office buildings using tracer gas techniques to study the air applicability of the associated measurement procedures in mechanically ventilated office buildings.
This paper deals with the problem of exhaust cross-contamination between vehicles in a slow-moving traffic queue, as would be found in a busy modern city.
In two case-referent studies the associations between questionnaire symptom reports, expressed as SES (Sick Building Syndrome) in office workers or facial skin symptoms among VDT-workers, and physical data from offices in 160 buildings were invest
