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 some of the principles applied in the CEN standard "Criteria for the indoor environment including thermal environment, indoor air quality (ventilation), light and noise'.
In the present study, the horizontal pivot window is replaced by horizontal louvers.A numerical method (CFD) was used to simulate ventilation performance of different louvers depths as well as different wind speed.
This paper sums up the current results of the IAQ characteristics in 104 child care centers (CCC) , using 4 different ventilation strategies.The corresponding respiratory health symptoms of attending children with their frequency and prevalence
This paper sums up a detailed (CFD) study of the flow around a Computer Simulated Person (CSP) in a displacement ventilated room.
This paper deals with estimated ventilation rates and symptoms in office workers. For that base study the authors used the U.S. EPA data from 100 large U.S.
With the analysis of the U.S. EPA BASE data from 100 U.S. office buildings, the authors made associations between moisture and ventilation system contamination with lower respiratory and mucous membrane symptoms .
By means of a comparative study of thermal confort methods for a Brazilian reality using among many others authors Voght and Miller Chagas, Givoni, Fanger-Ashrae, Mahoney, Humphreys, Olgyay, methods, this undergoing study tries to show their part
Thirteen parts of human body’s perspiration in hot and humid environment in summer in Chongqing, located in southwest China, has been tested in the laboratory.
A mathematical model was constructed to simulate time dependent particle concentration inindoor air and to evaluate the exposure of occupants.
In Finland eight office buildings were investigated as a part of European project HOPE..There were four office buildings with mechanical supply and exhaust air ventilation systemfrom 1970 and 80 without cooling system.
The methods of tracer gas measurement are just well known in the fields of scientific and research.
The protection of non-smokers against tobacco smoke is a very popular subject. In Japan,the health promotion law was passed in 2002.
The ozone (O3) has become an interesting atmospheric pollutant due to the complexity of thetransfer phenomenon to the indoor environment.
The development of good solutions for the zone separation problem-smoker/non-smoker“-in the same room is possible, and is proven by realized cases.
This paper covers the cost and benefit issues of a full dual path system to all control zones, including a case study office building in Lincoln, Nebraska. The system has one path that delivers outside air to all control zones.
The objective of the project was to design an HVAC system for a lithium battery manufacturing facility in Minnesota, USA. The system was to be designed for a 7544 sq. ft.
For many commercial and industrial plants, maintaining required ventilation rates can result in significant operating costs. Fortunately, passive (i.e.
The paper is devoted to the trial implementation of two different types of hybrid ventilation systems in dwelling buildings done in the scope of the EU LIFE Programme supported project ECOVENT.Recent changes in Latvian Building Codes require highe
Experience shows that there are differences between the design and the real load of ventilation systems. Consequently, the fresh air demand usually varies over a wide range during operation.
