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.
Data from control systems and dataloggers are useful for quantifying the performance of HVAC systems
Evaluation of the indoor temperature field using a given air velocity distribution. | 1999 | English
A new method for compensating the space discretization error introduced when the fixed flow field is considered for the dynamic models of temperature distribution is presented.
This paper describes the fluid mechanics of natural ventilation by the combined effects of buoyancy and wind.
A comprehensive technical and social refurbishment of a housing estate built in the seventies is carried out in the Gardsten project.
As the ratings industry in the United States shifts from a subsidized market to an unsubsidized one, we look at four areas of opportunity for home energy raters. Will these opportunities be growing or collapsing in the 21st century?
Home energy ratings seem reliable, but are they? We look at the results from one experiment that tries to answer this question for the existing homes market.
The Peterborough Environment City Trust has embarked on an ambitious energy saving programme involving the whole community Rose Riddell looks at what has been achieved so far.
ASHRAE is developing a standard to ensure cabin air quality 1) is safe for flight and occupants; 2) minimizes the potential for adverse health effects; and 3) is comfortable to occupants.
HVAC system outdoor airflow rates are usually measured and set at the air-handling unit. The effectiveness of an HVAC system at delivering the outdoor air to the occupied spaces of a building is varied and often disputed.
