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.

To reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment, a significant overhaul of the existing housing stock is essential.
Wim Kornaat, Wouter Borsboom, Ruud van der Linden
The existing standards for testing gas-phase air cleaners are based on challenging them with gaseous substances.
Kanta Amada, Lei Fang, Bjarne W. Olesen, Shin ichi Tanabe, Pawel Wargocki
The presentation provides a brief overview of the current situation and a roadmap for decarbonizing the building stock under the context of EU directives. It also discusses how it could be implemented into Spanish building regulations.

With many existing Austrian school buildings to be renovated in the coming years, there are debates between stakeholders, about which ventilation strategy to pursue in existing schools.
Simon Beck, Gabriel Rojas, Elena Krois, Sebastian Goreth, Christian Hechenberger
The scientific community has been aware of the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) for many decades, but the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a significantly higher level of attention from the general public and governmental entities to this theme
Sarah L. Paralovo, Klaas de Jonge, Arnold Janssens, Jelle Laverge, Reinoud Cartuyvels, Koen Van den Driessche, Borislav Lazarov, Maarten Spruyt, Marianne Stranger
The world has experienced the devastating nature of airborne transmitted diseases through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alicia Murga, Kazuhide Ito, Makoto Tsubokura
The TAIL rating scheme for assessing the quality of Thermal, Acoustic, Indoor air, Luminous, and the overall environment was initially developed to assess indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in hotels and offices.
Minh Tien Tran, Wenjuan Wei, Claire Dassonville, Corinne Mandin, Mickael Derbez, Christophe Martinsons, Pascal Ducruet, Valérie Héquet, Pawel Wargocki
Indoor air quality in residential buildings has been attracting more attention from the public. Many portable air cleaner products have been developed and are available in the market.
Kathrine Andersen, Stig Koust, Freja Rydahl Rasmussen, Li Rong
This project aims to enhance the odor environment in laundry and linen rooms in nursing homes.
Stig Koust, Freja Rydahl Rasmussen, Morten Stoltenberg
Sufficient ventilation in clinics is critical for diluting virus concentrations and lowering subsequent doses inhaled by the occupants.
Natalia Lastovets, Mohamed Elsayed, Ville Silvonen, Anni Luoto, Piia Sormunen
The COVID-19 pandemic increased the awareness and importance of infectious pathogens as contaminant in the indoor air, especially for non-residential buildings with a high occupational density like schools.
Klaas De Jonge, Marianne Stranger, Sarah L. Paralovo, Maarten Spruyt, Borislav Lazarov, Tom Geens, Reinoud Cartuyvels, Koen Van den Driessche, Jelle Laverge, Arnold Janssens
This paper presents the results of an Indoor Environment Quality (IEQ) monitoring study (including relative humidity, temperature and IAQ in terms of indoor CO₂) in naturally ventilated dwellings (mainly based on vertical shafts and infiltrations)
Sonia Garcia-Ortega, Pilar Linares-Alemparte
Accounting for inter- and intra-personal differences requires individual and cohort comfort models. For their development, emulators for thermal sensation of occupants are needed.
Dragos-Ioan Bogatu, Jun Shinoda, José Joaquín Aguilera, Bjarne W. Olesen, Futa Watanabe, Yosuke Kaneko, Ongun B. Kazanci
The development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) made it possible to simulate the detailed flow field and temperature field within the room.
Haruna Yamasawa, Sung-Jun Yoo, Kazuki Kuga, Kazuhide Ito
Coughing is one of the most important respiratory activities for air transmitted pathogens. It is essential to understand the dispersion of exhaled particles when coughing to improve the prevention measure and reduce the cross-infection risk.
Chen Zhang, Peter V. Nielsen, Simon Madsen, Li Liu, Chunwen Xu, Zhengtao Ai
The offer of air cleaners has increased significantly since the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, it is not clear to what extent they can contribute to indoor air quality.
Hannelore Scheipers, Arnold Janssens, Jelle Laverge
