LoginVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major gas-phase indoor air pollutants, and filtration is one of the promising methods to control indoor VOC concentration levels.
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.
Experiments with room air distribution that is generated by a radial ceiling-mounted diffuser and a diffuser generating flow with swirl are compared with the air distribution obtained by mixing ventilation from a wall-mounted diffuser, vertical ve
The use of an underfloor plenum to deliver conditioned air directly into the occupied zone of a building is one of the key features that distinguish underfloor air distribution systems from conventional ducted overhead systems.
The flow of air through the porous media that is used as building insulation has the potential to recover energy normally lost through the building envelope via conduction.
Most epidemiological studies rely on outdoor concentrations for the estimation of exposures.
The bedroom is not an healthy place. Low air change rates are quite common. This paper describes the microclimate in a bedroom, focusing on the moisture balance, air flow patterns and house dust mite allergen.
Domestic air cleaner are expected as one of the effective technique for the removal of chemical substances.
For that study, experiments with task ambient conditioning systems (TAC) have been carried out, to investigate the effects on thermal comfort and productivity of workers. .
This paper reports the results of field measurements carried out in a classroom to evaluate the effect of the air quality and thermal environment on learning performances, with varying environmental conditions.
In this paper the review of literature dealing with exposure-response relationships between the concentration of pollutants and the perceived air quality is done.
A group of 24 tropically acclimatized subjects were tested to explore the thermal and air movement perception after 90 minutes of facial exposure to local air movement, at different temperature conditions.The aim of that paper is to identify when
That study shows that positive application of the principal component approach to analyse the complex subjectives responses of subjects.
Two experimental studies were carried out to examine the influence of indoor air carbon-dioxide pollutant concentration on human well-being and the intensity of mental work.
In order to tally with the demanding requirements placed on compact ventilated units (CVUs), a testing facility has been developed. It is described in this paper.
How the use of ventilation equipment influences humidity and the thermal environment in a bathroom is the aim of this paper.
The cooling effect of a Cool chair is examined in this paper with is its ability to affect the user's psychology thanks to its thermal adjustibility. The air is drawn into the seat and backrest and can be blown out through the armrests.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of (UFAD) system in controlling thermal comfort and indoor air quality in office building.
Typical modes of air distribution such as ceiling supply and under-floor supply systemshave been investigated by using a breathing thermal manikin in a field environmental chamber.
In Korea, "Ondol" a radiant heating system is widely used but it is not satisfying with ventilation, so this study aims at developing a ventilation system to improve thermal environment and ventilation rates.
Field measurements have been carried in commercial kitchen to assess the performance of ventilated ceiling system, hanging the combination of ventilation rate and operating electrical appliances in order to find the best control method to realize
