LoginThe results of indoor climate investigation in 7 schools of Tallinn are analyzed in the paper.In classrooms with natural air change carbon dioxide concentration at the end of the class isvery high, up to 1.5.3.5 times more than permitted level.
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.
Air distribution solutions for classrooms aiming to lower air velocities and good temperature control are studied by measurements in 6 schools and temperature simulations.
This article is the result of a study on how to close the “gap” between architects and a building service consultant. Closing is necessary in order to be able to create both a better indoor climate and an interesting architectural environment.
This work is focused on the evaluation of indoor thermal quality and shows some results of awider field study in university classrooms.
Within the UK, the importance of providing adequate ventilation in schools has been recognised in a recently adopted document (Building Bulletin 101), which defines the set of performance criteria in relation to ventilation rates and indoor air qu
Seven schools underwent an energy audit, evaluating the existing situation through measurement and simulation and looking to possible retrofit measures and their economic feasibility with the energy performance tool (EPB) as an instrument.
Indoor Air Quality and thermal climate in schools is very important as it has a direct relation to the health and performance of the pupils. The status quo in the Netherlands is presented (e.g.
This study deals with Particle Matter (PM) levels below 2.5 ?m (PM2.5) in Portugal andshows that US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) directive is exceeded ina few places.
In this work the evaluation of the indoor thermal environment in a classroom equipped with air forced system will be made.
We performed a study on the effect of the discharge airflow rate of the ceiling type airconditioneron ventilation performance in the lecture room with the mixing ventilation.

In this work, 36 basic schools of Lisbon city, Portugal followed a questionnaire of the ISAAC- International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood Program.
Research has confirmed that the well-being and the school performance of pupils dependsignificantly on the quality of the luminous environment, which can be achieved throughdaylight utilization.
Ventilated ceiling system is an energy-saving replacement ventilation system for maintainingcomfortable working environment in kitchens.
The main target of this research project was to find technical and industrial hygienic solutionsfor small car body repair shops to reduce worker's exposure to chemicals during the paintingprocess.
The current state of building services engineering in the healthcare sector is characterized by ambiguity and prejudice.
This paper discusses the impact of different air distribution strategies on infection control inoperating rooms.
This case study deals with the renovation project of ventilation system in the Natural Science Building of Tallinn University of Technology, covering the established aims and principles of technical solutions, in general, and results of monitoring
