LoginThe intensity and acceptability of body odour was assessed 29 times on entering an experimental auditorium occupied by 106 women, by 40 female and 39 male judges.
Bibliographic 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.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
Ventilation requirements for the control of body odour in spaces occupied by women. | 1986 | English
The study compared the atmospheric burden of viable particulates in the interiors of condominium homes with central air conditioning with that of the typically more open type of naturally ventilated Hawaiian residence.
A new statistic for quantifying climate, Infiltration Degree-Days, is introduced. These serve the same function for infiltration and infiltration-related processes that standard degree-days have served for conduction and conduction-related p
A constant concentration tracer gas system was designed and constructed to continuously measure the air infiltration rate in as many as ten zones of a building. The portable, microcomputer controlled system injects a metered amount of tracer
Covers indoor pollutant levels and their health effects in humans and animals for five principal classes of pollutant: radon, microorganisms, passive cigarette smoke, combustion products, and organic compounds.
Describes the measurement of infiltration in each of the seven rooms of a house over the period from November 1983 to January 1984 with occasional use of mechanical exhaust ventilation. Nitrous oxide was used as the tracer gas.
Large, multicelled and naturally ventilated buildings pose many problems for the measurement of overall infiltration rates using tracer gases.
Proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium.
In December 1985 the Federal Republic of Germany joined the International Energy Agency's Annex V, the Air Infiltration Centre, as the twelfth participant.
Discusses the various causes of unwanted air infiltration in dwellings. Illustrates diagrammatically the commonest structural faults leading to adventitious air infiltration and gives methods of overcoming them.
This report gives a summary of research and its results at the Department of Building Science, Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden.
The objective of this study is to provide an explanatory model for total energy consumption in electrically heated single-family dwellings, based on publicly available socio-economic records in Sweden.
The paper focusses on local energy conservation measures, and on programs and policies that deal with rental property issues, directly or indirectly, whether they may help or hinder energy conservation. Local programs studied are: U.S.
