LoginThis objective of that study is to clarify the numbers and species of bacteria and fungi present on the surfaces of air filters at various temperatures and relative humidity.
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.
For that study two different rectangular test chambers of different size(9.37 m3 and 0.14 m3) were realised, in order to analyze the behaviour of fine particles deposition in rooms and to show the influence of airflow velocity on it..
The objective of that study is to analyze the influence of outdoor air and sypply air system on particle levels, along with the effect of indoor sources on them.
The ventilation of two newly built school buildings in Finland are compared in that study, one of the experimental building is equipped with fan assisted natural ventilation and the other one with mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation system
In this paper the results of the "Integral Design Methodologyy" workshop for sustainable comfort systems are presented. The objective was to reduce failure costs and to improve design quality for ventilation concepts.
For that study indoor and outdoor temperatures were recorded (respectively every 20 s and 1 minute) for 10 apartments houses in Japan during summer-autumn with the intention to investigate the relationships between ratios of air conditioner use a
In this paper a number of comfort indicators required for the assessment of indoor environmental building performance are presented, they both include temporal variation and the degree of discomfort perceived by the occupant.
A general analysis of technologies aiming at improving indoor air quality in Polish schools is described in this paper. A case study shool was selected for the comparison of selected technologies for ventilation system.
A statistical interpretation of nearly 8 000 individual questionnaires on perceived indoor environment has been made.
A realistic simulation experiment was conducted on students in a climate chamber, the objective of the laboratory experiments was to evaluate the quantitative effects of the air quality and thermal environments on learning performance High-ventila
A field experiment was conducted in a primary school in 3 steps : first Personal Air Quality (PAQ) was assessed with the used bag-filters present in the air supply path, then when the bag filters had been removed, and finally when filters were r
The aim of this paper is to study the impact of outdoor and indoor sources in a school environment.PM10 and PM2.5 measurements were made inside a portuguese classroom and compared with outdoor PM10 concentration to study the impact of ventilation
The survey has been carried out in two nursery schools located in Strasbourg to quantify both the formaldehyde levels and the air change rates of three classrooms investigated two days continuously, one day with and one day without the presence o
That study aims at characterizing the indoor air quality, mainly in terms of VOCs in nine schools of a littoral urban area in Portugal. Measurements and results are presented.
This paper reports the findings of a pilot field study in two naturally ventilated child-care centres. Air temperatures, air velocities, turbulence intensity and air change rates were measured. The method and the results are presented
That study was carried out in a general hospital ward in Hong Kong, equipped with ceiling-mixing type ventilation system to analyse the dispersion characteristics of expiratory droplets.
There is a complex relationship within the disciplines needed to to produce and perceive architecture.
Three different air purification devices were investigated for that study : two photo catalytic oxydation (PCO) units and one gas-phase adsorption (GPA). The benefits of the GPA were significantly demonstrated.
The aim of that study was to determine the causes of Sick House Syndrome . 60 sick houses in Japan were investigated during six summer form 2000 to 2005.
For that national survey 567 French dwellings from 2003 to 2005 were investigated for IAQ measurements. The enormous collected data was associated to quality control system that operated before, during and after each measurement.
