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 December 1985 the Federal Republic of Germany joined the International Energy Agency's Annex V, the Air Infiltration Centre, as the twelfth participant.
Trepte L, et al.
Discusses the various causes of unwanted air infiltration in dwellings. Illustrates diagrammatically the commonest structural faults leading to adventitious air infiltration and gives methods of overcoming them.
Kilberger M
This report gives a summary of research and its results at the Department of Building Science, Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden.
Adamson B, et al
The objective of this study is to provide an explanatory model for total energy consumption in electrically heated single-family dwellings, based on publicly available socio-economic records in Sweden.
Lundstrom E
The paper focusses on local energy conservation measures, and on programs and policies that deal with rental property issues, directly or indirectly, whether they may help or hinder energy conservation. Local programs studied are: U.S.

Commercial buildings require mechanical ventilating systems, the specifications for which are included in the building codes. These codes specify the amount of outdoor air to be supplied per person for designed occupancy conditions.
