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.
The bibliography summarises research into the health, energy and design aspects of the various systems used in garage ventilation.
The focus of this review is on natural ventilation strategies and systems, highlighting design features and associated research.
The fact that many people spent more than 90% of their time in a more or less artificial indoor environment (i.e. office, factory, home, transport vehicles etc.) stresses the importance of a proper indoor exposure assessment.
This is the first part of a planned research into the effect of the human being on the indoor climate. The results are among other things intended for CFD calculations.
This study was undertaken in response to a request by U.S. Representative Philip R.
Noise from fan-assisted radon sump systems can be a problem in the home. This leaflet describes how to design a sump system with a view to minimising noise disturbance.
An effective way of reducing the level of radon in dwellings is to extract air from beneath the ground floor. This is usually achieved by mechanical ventilation or by the use of a radon sump.
This report is one of a series giving practical advice on methods of reducing radon levels in existing dwellings.
This report is one of a series giving practical advice on how to reduce indoor radon levels in existing dwellings. Its specific subject is radon remedial measures for houses with suspended timber floors.
The issue of sound quality in offices and other occupied spaces has been of continuing interest since the 1950s. Existing assessment methods do not adequately account for the Low-frequency background sound ( < 250 Hz) produced by operating heat
The sound insulation provided by similar types of windows varies considerably.
Office noise affects the productivity of every person in every office.
