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.
In recent years, the aspect and behavior inside a bathroom and an appurtenant changing room havebeen changing.
This paper explains how to enhance the energy performance of a chiller plant designed with chillers ofequal size or unequal size and having superior coefficient of performance (COP) at part load operation.A simulation study was carried out on an a
Heat gain through the exterior window accounts for 25-28% of the total heat gain, adding to theinfiltration, it is up to 40 % in hot summer and cold winter zone of china, so it is important to carry outthe sustainable window systems design with lo
This study discusses how to improve energy performance standards for vapour compression chillers.
Limited data are available for understanding indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and the related healtheffects in schools in China.
Background Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a very common disease with an increasing prevalence to 10-20%over the last 40 years all over the world including developing countries like China. But the reasons havenot yet been known clearly.
In comfort control strategy there is an exciting development based on inclusive design: the user’s preferences and their behaviour have become central in the building services control strategy.
Indoor air quality has caught attention of the Netherlands Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and theEnvironment and a large campaign was started in 2005 to make the public aware of the dangers tohealth as result of poor ventilation in housing.
Asphalt fume from Aluminum Industries is one of pollutants, which must be decontaminated in theventilation systems.
COMPARISON OF LCA ON STEEL- AND
CONCRETE-CONSTRUCTION OFFICE BUILDINGS:A CASE STUDY | 2007 | English
A life-cycle inventory model for the office buildings is developed in this paper. The environmental effectsof two different building structures, steel and concrete, are intercompared.
An Earth-to-Air Heat Exchanger (ETAHE) uses the ground’s thermal storage capacity to dampen ambient air temperature oscillations by delivering the outdoor air to the indoors through a horizontally buried duct.
Through modeling and computing, life cycle energy consumption (LCEC) and environmentalemission (LCEE) of twelve building materials in production process are analyzed by means oflife cycle assessment (LCA).
The characteristics of climate in Japan are hot and humid in summer, with cold and dry winter. For thisreason, mold growing in rooms is common during summer period.
Thermal sensation, acceptability and comfort are the important responses while evaluating the qualityof thermal environment.
In large enclosures such as gymnasiums, it is difficult to control the air temperature and create a comfortableclimate for people with respect to the heating condition.
With growing concerns about the impact of indoor environment quality on office workers’ well-being and productivity, coupled with the concern over the rising energy costs for space heating and cooling in office building sector, ventilation princip
How to model airflow discharged from diffuser is believed to be one of the key issues in ComputationalFluid Dynamics (CFD) applications to indoor air problem.
Potentially-harmful chemicals could be released from many indoor materials, including consumerproducts and building materials, into indoor environments.
Whether one considers the issues related to office workers’ well-being and productivity, or the issues from an energy and environmental perspective, there are clear evidences in favor of improving the quality of office built environment.
