LoginResponding to the hot humid climate, the Taiwan government expects to broadly install air-conditioning in classrooms to provide a comfort study environment for school buildings and prevent the risk of overheating; therefore, cor
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.
A major challenge in the built environment is the integration of energy and indoor environmental quality in the optimization of existing buildings.
Ventilation systems assume that the outdoor air quality is better than the indoor air quality at al times as they use outdoor air to dilute pollutants emitted by humans, activities, the building itself and other objects.
Hospitals’ indoor environmental quality (IEQ) impacts on patients’ comfort and well-being.
There has been substantial concern about the potential for radon levels to increase in homes undergoing energy retrofits, especially those including substantial air sealing.
In this paper various direct reading instruments and techniques used in air monitoring are reviewed. Principles of operation are described, pointing out advantages and disadvantages of using such instruments.
The fan pressurization method is a common practice in many countries for measuring the air leakage of houses. The test results are sensitive to uncertainties in the measured pressures and airflows.
In the UK, people spend over 90% of a day indoors.
In this study, questionnaire survey and field measurement were conducted for the houses with the elderly in urban and rural areas across 6 regions of China, during heating period.
Deep Energy renovation (DER) adopts a whole building approach and achieves much larger energy savings than shallow energy renovations that typically only included a small number (one or two) of upgrade measures.
When designed and operated adequately, natural ventilation (NV) can improve the buildings’ energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.
In building energy renovation, the notion of payback time of the investments is often presented as the only goal.
Due to age-related physiological changes, older people are more vulnerable than young people to heat or cold conditions.
Under the influence of biological hazards including COVID-19, it is required sufficient ventilation to decrease the infection risk in the indoor area.

Purpose of the work
In Denmark, a manufacturer and dealer of vapor barrier membranes has observed unusual behavior. The membranes were installed in a small house and show that the system can be set up and be tight.
