LoginIn buildings, favorable growing conditions for mold fungi can occur and cause fungusinfestation. The danger for the occupants of dwellings lies in the spreading of pathogensthrough microorganisms.
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.
In our previous research[1], office workers are relatively frequent in self-reported symptomsof MCS/IEI compare to construction worker who highly exposed to VOCs compounds.However in that research, the subjects were too small to say it clearly.
This study was carried out in collaboration with the district heating firm RADET SA from Bucharest, Romania, in order to support the acoustic renovation of the thermal stations, to meet the modern requirements of the indoor acoustic comfort.
Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) system sizing for existing single family residents in hot and humid and temperate climates present different problems.
Full-scale laboratory measurements were conducted to determine moisture convectionperformance on the joint of external wall and attic floor.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermal performances and the effect on the thermal comfort of a cooling ceiling installed in an experimental test room called Minibat.
Radiant panels achieved a growing success in the last years as a cooling system, because theyguarantee improvement in comfort and energy saving.The aim of the present work is to propose a method to evaluate the thermal behavior ofradiant panels us
The importance of heat load and airflow pattern control for occupants’ thermal comfort is studied in a full-scale test room ventilated with chilled beams. The room was furnished with two desks, computers and table lights.
Active chilled beams are an air conditioning solution for ventilation, cooling and heating. Bycareful design the solution can result in a comfortable indoor environment with a high degreeof individual control at a low operational cost.
An air-condition system shall be designed to provide the required indoor environment underspecified condition. According CEN Report 1752 it could be distinguish three categories forindoor environment.
This paper conducts an experimental measuring of the airflow generated by a modern ceilingfan that has an electronic device to vary the instant rotation speed for simulating natural winds.The measuring results are then used to calculate the mean a
In the last decade, quite a few carbon-monoxide intoxications occurred in Hungary due to theinadequate operation of gas appliances with open combustion chamber, connected tochimneys.
Field surveys on thermal environment were carried out at Station T which is a large station inTokyo, mainly in summer 2006. It appeared that the thermal environment in concourse isclosely related to passengers comfort.
The numerical and experimental analysis was carried out to study the thermal-hydrauliccharacteristics in elliptical finned-tube heat exchanger under the dry and air/water spray cooledsystem.
This paper deals with measurements of temperature distribution of rotary heat recovery units.A special grid of thermocouples has been made to measure air temperature in equallydistributed sampling points on each side of a heat recovery wheel.
This paper analyses the problem of improving the performance of the mass transfer withthe standpoint of field synergy theory.
This paper discusses the efficiency of induction motor drives for HVAC applications, basedon measurements made on three 4kW induction motor drives.
The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effect of outdoor weather conditions on the performance of a plate-type heat recovery ventilator. The performance should not be affected in a theoretical point of view.
Associations between classroom ventilation and pupils’ performance were investigated in primary schools in the United Kingdom.
Many research papers have been published on the potential effects of the quality of the indoor environment on productivity in classrooms and offices.
