LoginTest standards for particulate and gaseous contaminant air filters in general ventilation systems are discussed in that paper along with filter rating systems for particulate filters as they are to be understood by filter specifiers too.
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 aim of that study was to compare self reported asthma, asthmatic symptoms and pollen or pet allergies among pupils in the Chinese and Swedish schools with similar data .
In this paper, the authors have investigated the determinants of IAP in Bangladesh, using monitoring data from 236 households in the region of Dhaka. Their results show that fuel choice affects indoor pollution levels significantly.
That study demonstrated that factors in school environment such as high temperature, low air exchange rate and ambient air pollution from traffic exhausts are responsible for respiratory symptoms among pupils.
This paper focuses on the possible association between classroom ventilation rates and the students' academic performance. A pilot study was conducted.
The objective of this paper was to develop a flexible mathematical model that could help to determine the best strategies for containing indoor airborne infections at the early stage of outbreak.The impact of engineering control measures combine
HVAC engineers have to incorporate the calculations and directives of the Ashrae standard 62.1-2004 into the normal design process to improve ventilation air delivery.
The objective of that experimental field study was to investigate if a better indoor air quality in classrooms improves the performance of schoolwork for children.
In this paper , eight simple steps for designing a DOAS with CRCP system are provided .
For that paper, the three-dimensional flow patterns and the real-time tracer gas leakage were studied to understand the physical mechanisms of the contaminant dispersion and containment leakage during the ventilation process through a laboratory
In that paper, the data collected in a previous study was used to examine the impact of season, home ventilation, and particle composition on associations between ambient concentrations and corresponding personal exposures to particles and gases.
in that study the extent to which US schools are implementing IAQ programs is analyzed. It appears that having a program is not equivalent to implementing effective IAQ policies and procedures.
In this paper, the author examines the contributions of indoor exposures to ozone and its ozone-initiated oxidation products to ozone's overall impact on public health.
Air handling units must be added in typical HVAC systems to remove indoor air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The aim of that paper is to investigate the VOC removal efficiency of a photocatalytic filter in a HVAC system.
The aim of that paper is the analysis of the airflow field and pressure distribution of standard mechanical interface (SMIF) enclosure in the semiconductor factory cleanroom on the one hand and the investigation of the air cleanliness inside the
Though there is a developing interest in achieving low-energy, naturally ventilated, non-domestic buildings in order to achieve reductions in carbon dioxide emissions, those two case studies demonstrate that local authority Building Control Depar
That research project of the CFD Lab of the University of Tennessee in collaboration with the civil aerospace medical institute (CAMI) of the Federal Aviation Administration aimed at validating the CFD prediction of the ECS-generated ventilatio
Minienvironments systems are reported to provide effective containment for critical contamination control. But prior to that study, little information was published or available to quantify the energy performance of such systems.
For that study, a model was developed to simulate adsorption and desorption of multicomponent organic compounds in a charcoal filter and to predict its lifetime.
For that study, six different types of in-room air cleaners (ACs) were investigated. Their ability to remove and/or inactivate airborne bacteria and fungal spores has been quantified.
