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.
Increasing air-tightness of houses in Canada in recent years, and related concern over indoor air quality and excessive humidity in winter, has led to provisions in the National Building code of Canada for mechanical ventilation systems in all new
Tracer-gas techniques have become widely used to measure the ventilation rates in buildings.
The studies described in the present paper have been developed by the teams involved in the French National Research Programm "ARC Convection Naturelle dans l'Habitat" coordinated by CNRS-PIRSEM (Inte disciplinary Research Programm on Energy and M

For more than a century air quality standards have been based on the Pettenkofer Theory, which regards the human being as the decisive source of air pollution in residential and community building.
