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.
Daikin's heat reclaim ventilation system is bringing massive energy savings without any loss of air conditioning efficiency.
Concerns surrounding indoor air quality in commercial buildings have focused attention on the need for stringent filter performance testing. The Cl BSE engineer should be aware of several test standards
Air conditioning may have economic and health disadvantages, but it does provide protection against future change in functional requirements of buildings, says Professor Patrick O'Sullivan.
Most modern office blocks in Southern Africa are air conditioned, for obvious reasons, but some developers are eager to find ways of reducing the capital cost of these projects.
A number of tests of the Memorial Fire Ventilation Test Program were devoted to determining the effectiveness of a full-transverse ventilation system in limiting the spread of smoke and hot gases, with varying system configurations and airflow rat
The paper is the second in a series of four which describe a three-year research project into advanced fabric-energy-storage (FES) systems.
