LoginThe objective of this paper is to present the contaminant removal efficiency of a prototype air cleanerusing the adsorption/desorption effect and to investigate the practicality of this air cleaner.
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.
The requirements for thermostats are increasing in the U.S. for a combination of reasons.
The air quality in laboratories has a profound affect on occupant health and safety. Reducing the timeof exposure and the amount of contaminant can improve the occupant environment and have directimpact on health and safety.
The avoidance of mould growth in dwellings is of worldwide concern. In England and Wales, therelevant Building Regulations guidance document recommends ventilation provisions to control bothmoisture and other pollutants in buildings.
Three indices for describing occupants’ activities in the office rooms are defined: 1) occupant office (OO) index defines the time occupant spends in a room; 2) occupant desk (OD) index defines the time occupant spends at the working place; 3) occ
The interaction of flows in rooms ventilated by active chilled beams and its importance for the air distribution and occupants’ thermal comfort is studied in a full-scale room experiments.
There are materials and instruments which can be various pollution sources of indoor air quality in aroom.
As a part of our research on energy conservation and thermal comfort of detached houses havingcentralized HVAC systems, study with numerical simulation techniques was started.
The necessity of promoting sustainable buildings is discussed in this paper from the viewpoint of theassessment of building environment performance.
In North America, there are ~140 million homes and 4 million public buildings.
The ordinary displacement ventilation system (DV) needs large installation spaces for large supplydiffusers with lower supply air velocity to avoid the draft discomfort at the foot level, and large supply airvolume to control allowable vertical te
This study aims at investigating the actual conditions of indoor environment in schools in order to obtainfundamental information for proper ventilation design for buildings.
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ), subjective satisfaction of occupants and energy conservation ofbuildings are usually determined separately.
This paper describes a series of field measurements investigating the ventilation rates and indoor airquality in four newly built secondary schools in England.
This research describes the effects of injecting rigid polyurethane foam into walls and fitting doubleglazing or inner panes to sash windows as simple renovation methods for houses, based onestimations of CO2 emissions from heating/cooling and LCC
For energy conservation and good Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), it is crucial to improve Outdoor Air Quality(OAQ).
In this paper, experiments and simulations for moisture buffering of the gypsum boards is described.The small chamber (4.62 m3) installed the gypsum board on the interior surface was used for theexperiments.
While various VOCs are known to show neurotoxic effects, the detailed mechanisms of VOCs onautonomic nervous system have not been fully understood partly because objective and quantitativemeasures to indicate neural abnormalities are still under d
In the past ten years, there have been intense developments in the application of energy savings inbuildings and high technology glass invented mainly for architectural faades and skylights in all overthe regions of the world.
In order to facilitate rational development on the efficient new ventilation system with new detectorsagainst the health problems caused by VOC in residential buildings, authors studied to clarify the actualIAQ conditions around occupied area.
