LoginThis study aims at obtaining feedback from occupants of low-energy retrofitted houses concerning the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and the building systems in their homes.
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.
Due to age-related physiological changes, older people are more vulnerable than young people to heat or cold conditions.
The present study investigates acoustic comfort in naturally ventilated residential buildings through an indoor soundscape approach.
Under the influence of biological hazards including COVID-19, it is required sufficient ventilation to decrease the infection risk in the indoor area.
Hospitals’ indoor environmental quality (IEQ) impacts on patients’ comfort and well-being.
Humidity-based DCV systems have been widely used in France for 35 years and are considered as a reference system, including for low-energy residential buildings.
France is committed to minimizing its greenhouse gas emissions by focusing on the most energy-consuming sector, the residential and tertiary building sector.
The sudden global outbreak of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) has infected over seventy million people and resulted in over one million deaths by the end of 2020, posing a significant threat to human health.
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.
This study aims to use the WELL Building Standard (v2), an internationally recognised rating system for health & wellbeing in buildings, to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the effect of wellbeing measures
Purpose of the work
The book of proceedings of the 13th International BUILDAIR Symposium "Airtight Buildings, Thermography and Ventilation Systems in Practice", held on June 2-3 2023 in Hannover, Germany. Contains 36 abstracts.
Worldwide, the demand for airtightness tests of tall buildings with a height of approximately 100 m is increasing.
I would like to report on lessons learned in the field regarding two measurements at a special, particularly airtight and unusual building: A "concrete shell for CO2 storage in recycled concrete aggregates".
Purpose of the work
Weltweit steigt die Nachfrage nach Luftdichtheitsprüfungen von hohen Gebäuden mit einer Höhe ab ca. 100 m.
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
Wie groß ist der energetische Beitrag für energieeffiziente Gebäude aufgrund der Undicht-heit von Abluftklappen für Dunstabzugssysteme?
This presentation is the recording of the first 100 airtight tests in Greece, from 2010 until today.
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
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.
