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.
CETHIL, Thermal Research Centre of the National Institute of Applied Sciences is a university laboratory associated with CNRS of 50 staff scientists and PhD students devoted to research in heat transfer.
The objective of Annex 23 is to study physical phenomena causing air flow and pollutant transport in multizone buildings and to develop modules to be integrated in a multizone air flow modelling system.
Describes IEA Annex 23 on multizone air flow and pollutant transport modelling, which is divided into three subtasks.
The reliability, availability and the efficient use of the HVAC- and control systems will be emphasized in the use and maintenance of the buildings in the future.
Within the framework of the work of Annex 25 of the International Energy Agency, the CSTB, in collaboration with different French research teams, is setting up a research programme on the methods of fault detection and diagnosis applicable to heat
The annex was formed to address energy issues related to low slope roof systems. The first task undertaken was the development of a sourcebook on good practices for design, installation and maintenance of insulated roof systems.
Describes the French ACERMI Certification governing thermal insulation.
In the field of insulation techniques, technical advances are mainly due to an interactive approach resulting from three complementary factors: * National building standards and government supported incentive programmes which aim to increase the t
In the last fifteen years "Local Energy Planning" (LEP), has been developed in several countries as a means of designing energy efficient communities.
