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.
This paper shows first results of an ongoing research project, which aims to develop a transfermodel to link the odor intensity with the perceived air quality assessments.
In the german research project a method had been developed and tested, which enables thesimple and safe integration of sensory tests into current test procedures under the AgBBscheme (see below).
In the present study Multi gas-sensor systems (MGSS) are used to evaluate the odor intensityas it is perceived by humans. These systems measure volatile compounds in a holistic mannerand present a signal pattern of the air sample.
The printers emit the chemical compound when its temperature rises during normal operations. And it primarily influenced the chemical concentrations such as formaldehyde and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in a living space.
Emissions and odors from different common indoor surface materials (waste woodenproducts, vinyl, linoleum, carpet, gypsum board, paint, wall coating materials etc.) wereinvestigated within this study.
The article deals with air parameters in building exterior and interior. External air temperatureis the most important air parameter in the exterior. The temperature is influenced by local areaparameters.
The following article presents a method that outlines how to effectively construct buildingsthat emit only minimal concentrations of harmful airborne substances.
The paper shows the life cycle of a low-energy detached house from the viewpoint of CO2-emissions.
Already 20 years ago, Gro Harlem Brundlandt stated «I believe the time has come for higher expectations, […] for an increased political will to address our common future» ([1], p. 13).
The large advancement in the market of building materials and of HVAC systems leads to a wide variety of technical solutions that can be employed to build an efficient low energy commercial building.The comparison between different combinations of
In order to improve life quality into buildings, the present paper proposes a certification model for indoor total comfort.The first part of the paper concerns energy certification of buildings, with attention to energy efficiency, renewable sourc
Specialist researchers, property owners, builders and building managers have togetherdeveloped a quality assurance (QA) management scheme that considers indoor environmentand energy use.
Both on European and national scale, standards are now being drawn to extend to summer airconditioning the evaluation of energy requirement in building-plant systems.
A systematic method for assessing and improving indoor environment quality (IEQ) isdeveloped for existing and occupied office buildings. The method begins with an occupantsatisfaction survey that is directed to everyone working in a building.
Regulatory devices for the energy efficiency of buildings currently in use, including the new EU “Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings” [1] and especially the methods currently proposed in the various member states to determine and jud
This paper describes the production of the Customer Advising Tool (CAT), a piece of software to help assess the potential for reducing the cooling demand of Office buildings, as required by Article 9 of the EPBD.
In order to reduce the energy consumptions, it is urgent to be focused on existing buildings.The answer is how to determine priorities of interventions on a building to be renovated.
There are about 16 millions building in Turkey. The total energy consumption of these buildings is approximately 3.48x105 GJ.
The need for higher productivity to match the growing competition has forced employers to look for better Indoor Work Environments.
