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 aim of that study was to determine the best technical method for the measurement of ventilation rate in naturally ventilated buildings.

This paper reports the design concept and outline of that task ambient air conditioning system with natural ventilation along with the measurement results.
Ushio T., Sagara K., Yamanaka T., Kotani H., , Yamagiwa M., Yamashita T., Horikawa S.
Developing a device that has indoor ventilation performance through solar heating is the aim of that study.
Yoshizawa S., Nobe T.
In that paper , the presentation of a simplified control strategy for naturally ventilated buildings is made. The concept of the "ventilation function" has been introduced. The procedure applied to derive it was illustrated.
Piccolo A.
A systematic process that analyses the relationship between building layouts and the efficiency of natural ventilation in and around high-rise apartment is demonstrated in that paper.
Shin J.W., Lee K.H.
Chemical transformations occur indoors, and primary pollutants may be chemically transformed.
Morrison G.C., Corsi R.L., Destaillats H., Nazaroff W.W., Wells J.R.
Both measurements - made in a climate chamber equipped with both underfloor air distribution system (UFAD) and a mixing system (MS) - and numerical results are presented then compared in this paper, in order to investigate the ventilation efficien

Amount of moisture in a bathroom and dressing room has been surveyed in order to clarify the basic unit of moisture and to define a method for moisture measurement.
Watanabe K., Tanabe S., Aizawa Y., Amai H., Yokoo K.
The Kroller-Muller museum , since the beginning of Climate installation, suffered the problem of condensation on the glass facades in winter time. A new concept of supply air diffuser was provided.
Yu B., Schmidt P.C., Ruchti J.P., Luscuere P.G.
A new mode of ventilation , the intelligent stratum ventilation, where the outlets are located at the side walls at the breathing zone level, is presented in that paper.
Lin Z., Chow T.T., Tsang C.F.
This aim of that study is to evaluate the right time to ventilate and the effectiveness of ventilation for bake-out.
Kang D.H., Choi D.H., Kim S.S., Park M.Y., Yeo M.S., Kim K.W.
A series of experiments were conducted in a thermal chamber room served by displacement ventilation system to investigate the effect of external heat radiation on the vertical temperature profile.
Sun W.., Cheong D.K.W.
In this paper , a correlation of three parameters (temperature, relative humidity and velocity) in a single index is proposed.
Abdel-Aziz O., Khalil E.E.
That study demonstrates the efficiency of longitudinal spiral recuperators, their resistance to outdropping moisture from air-cooled stream. With that type of recuperator, the effect of frosting practically does not occur.
Adamski M.
That paper reports field measurement results in kitchens and washrooms in a high-rise residential building. The tracer gas method was applied to understand the removal rate of contaminant.
Law L.K.C., Chan D.W.T., Leung E.S.H., Chan E.H.W., Mak H.K.C.
For that study, evaluation has been made by the authors on energy saving effect when total heat exchanger is adopted for detached houses in warm area.
Toriumi Y., Kurabuchi T., Okuyama H., Nanaoka H.
A variety of typical air flow related problems in apartments such as air guiding, contaminant removal, draught problems are presented in this paper along with suggestions to solve those problems.
Schaelin A.
An experimental study was carried out to characterize the hybrid ventilation system in residential apartment in the Porto aera. The results of the field experiments in the summer are presented .
