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.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
The ventilation of a large room is often achieved by supplying inlet air from a small side-wall mounted opening. The velocity distribution in a typical room with a small circular inlet opening close to the ceiling is described.
This report analyses the data obtained from windows tested for the British manufacturing industry over the past ten years.
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the amount of carbon monoxide that may be expected to be produced during normal cooking.
Air leakage characteristics of 192 new windows installed in new residential construction representative of those units commonly installed in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan Area have been measured and evaluated.
Fifty-nine owners/occupants of electrically heated houses in the Denver, Colorado area have, for about ten months, been participating in a study sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to determine theeffect of air infi
Several empirical models of house air infiltration, available from the literature, were reviewed and evaluated.
The effect of ventilation in the space between a main wall and an exterior siding is examined with respect to reducing the building's cooling load.
A test chamber was designed and constructed at Princeton University for research purposes. The structure is essentially a miniature house, with no internal partitions, built with simplicity and uniformity in mind.
Richard Tully gives practical advice on ventilation requirements for underground car parks, emphasizing the need to remove fumes quickly from exit ramps where vehicles emit up to half as much carbon monoxide again as on the level.
Mr.Platts briefly reviews current Canadian housing and the potential for controlled ventilation with exhaust air heat recovery.
Describes measurements of airtightness and ventilation in prefabricated 'modulent' houses, 25 single-storey with habitable lofts and 8 single-storey, all with mechanical extract systems.
