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.
Flow measurements using rracer gas reclmiques were made on tile exterior doorway of a test house for indoor-outdoor temperature differetJces of 0.5-45 K.
In order to arrive at a simple design procedure to handle heat transfer in a room, certain fairly complicated expressions for radiant exchange are needed, and moreover the further operations that have to be performed on them are involved and lead
A comprehensive theory of multi-chamber air infiltration measurement using a single tracer gas is introduced from the general stand point of system identification.
A generalized multi-chamber ventilation model is developed for air contaminant prediction problems where the parameters of the system, such as airflow rates, are described by Gaussian probability distributions.
This report on a project carried out at the Building Research Association of New Zealand describes an investigation on the role of draught sealing measures in houses and is part of a wider programme concerned with overcoming heat and moisture pro
Going against the conventional wisdom, a builder in Colorado built-and sold more than 700 extra-energy-efficient homes. The homes' owners now spend half as much on space heating as their neighbors do.
This paper details a set of guidelines for the design of thermally efficient houses in the generally temperate climate of Greece, using the common construction materials of Greek contemporary housing and employing simple passive design techniques.
The paper reviews some problems of theory and practice of energy conservation in buildings. The necessity for a policy of energy
Ventilation efficiency may be defined as the capability of a given ventilation system to achieve the best balance between indoor air quality and energy conservation requirements:
Energy saving measures with reduced outdoor air change rates may lead to critical indoor air contaminant concentrations. Emission characteristics of construction materials and products play an important role.
