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 Nucleus Hospital programme has been progressed by the Department of Health for over a decade.
Over the years there has been significant advance in the development of experimental methods and analysis for the use of tracer gases in the evaluation of ventilation systems.
The first version of this "Atlas" contains over 100 cases of office air flow patterns for different ventilation systems. The book is designed to give the design engineer a quick idea of how a particular system works under various loads.
The paper, which is based around a proposed design for a building in Germany, discusses how the facade can be used to provide the driving force for building ventilation, design constraints and the application of a zonal airflow model driven by con
