LoginRecently, the Indoor Air Quality Management Act came into effect in Korea., in order to limit formaldehyde and VOCs concentration levels in new buildings.
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.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
This paper describes an investigation of the indoor environment in Dutch daycare centers. Air temperature and CO2 levels measurements were made during summer and winter in 14 centers.. Results and recommendations are presented.
For that study field VOC measurements were conducted in 20 natioanl hospitals in Japan. Passive samplers were used. Results are presented .

Korean gouvernment supports researches to improve indoor air pollution.
The population epidemic investigation method was used for that study in order to investigate the relationship between human uncomfortable feeling symptoms and indoor air conditioning thermal environment. Results are presented.
Air conditioning in passenger car is an important part of the modern train technology. The induction unit (IDU) - the terminal equipment of induced draft system - is studied in this paper.
In order to improve the climate in the atrium of a school building, CFD techniques have been applied. The current simulation has been simulated and appears to be in adequation with onsite measurements.
For centuries, in Iceland, mineral based turf has been used as a buildng material.That use may have an effect on the prevalence of infectious diseases for the occupants.
That study aimed at evaluating the air distribution in three big , air-conditioned Chinese markets, with floor area varying from 3890 to 5760 m2.
A full scale chamber of 57.9 m3 was built for that study, in order to establish the standard model available in the domestic experiments. Internal ventilation was available through the HVAC system.
The authors investigated several homes in huge chinese cities, during one year.The comparison of data made in newly fitted homes and in homes fitted for more than 3 years revealed that indoor air pollution was very serious in the second ones.
This paper puts emphasis on the analysis of air mass flux on natural ventilation in tiered-seating classrooms.Some suggestions are proposed about architectural desing of teaching buildings that may improve the natural ventilation.
Some research indicate that people spend nearly 90 % of their time indoors. The scientific evidence indicates that the air within homes and other buildings can be more polluted that the outdoor air, even in industrialized cities.
The quality of indoor air and health effects were investigated first in 1992 and then in 2003, in 3 Swedish dental clinics located in different part of the town of Uppsala. Material and methods were studied . Health effects were recorded.
Top Hung windows are typical and popular in North China. Measures in classrooms of Tianjin University equipped with such windows have been made.
A field study was carried out in a cold area market building. The IAQ and various kinds of factors that influence IAQ and human body 's thermal comfort were analyzed. In parallel the personnel was investigated through questionnaire.
The aim of negative pressure control in an isolation room is to control the airflow so as to control the movement of airborne infectious particles.
To face infection in hospitals, the control of the concentration of bacteria in patient rooms is necessary. For that study, computation and experiment were carried out in a real hospital isolation room.
For that study, experiments are conducted to develop a new breathing ventilator using the concept of alternating-current (AC) ventilation. That ventilator is composed of a reversible fan and a thermal storage medium.
Filter performance of two new systems of simple respirators are investigated in this paper : a new method is used to quantify the real value of face seal leakage.
