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.
BREEAM/New offices Version 1/93 An environmental assessment for new office designs. | 1993 | English
This paper deals with the thermal performance of an earth to air heat exchanger for cooling and heating purposes.
Environmental concerns such as ozone depletion and global warming are forcing the building design profession to explore new ways of space conditioning.
Two models, the Eggenberger- Polya and the William's logarithmic series have been used to predict the probability of occurrence of varying length mild and hot spells, respectively, for the summer period using a 13-yr hourly database from Athens.
The dynamic thermal interaction between a building and the HV AC systems which service it is still difficult to predict.
Forty years ago, smoke and sulphur dioxide pollution from domestic coal burning caused an air pollution episode that led to the premature deaths of 4,000 Londoners.
The monitoring of air pollution and health levels was carried out in coal burning districts and the districts with central heating in Chengde City.
Household coal burning is one of the major sources of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in African urban residential areas in South Africa.
The properties of particulate filters and gas adsorption filters have been studied to determine the opportunities available for effectively cleaning the outdoor air supplied to buildings located in urban environments.
The Energy Diagnostic System (EDS) automatically reviews the energy condition of a building and performs some simple diagnostics.
Field studies were carried out on air contamination by dust particles from air conditioning systems in four buildings in Tokyo area.
