LoginThis paper deals with a CFD study of containment of airborne hazardous materials in a ventilated room containing a downdraft table.
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, the dispersion of airborne contaminants in a work environment has been tested with physical measurements, and the data collected has been compared to CFD simulations coupled with mathematical evaporation models.
This paper is a review of the existing methods and techniques that allow the reproduction in laboratory of the real behaviour of filters, mainly the electret filters.
The flow field of industrial ventilation hood induced by the combination of extract-flow and crosswind is affected by the oblique angle of the hood's set-up.
Casting fumes lower the air quality in foundries. So a local ventilation solution for the mould casting area was designed and dimensioned with CFD calculations. The most efficient solution appears to be a push-pull ventilation system.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the restrictions of the Finnish Tobacco Act, concentrations of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) have been measured before and after the amended Act entered into force.
The aim of that paper is to study the effectiveness of building air handling units (AHUs) in serving high volume sampling devices for airborne bacteria and viruses.
The Swedish navy has operated submarines equipped with air independent propulsion that can stay submerged for long periods. The aim of that study is to investigate the air quality wtihin those submarines during the long periods of submersion.
This paper presents the development of an updated approach to determine simultaneously the effective air exchange rates (AERs) , the interzonal flows, and VOC concentrations over long and representative test periods.
Essential oils are one means to prevent microbial development, and are low in toxicity.
The new REHVA guidebook is presented in this paper. Written by an international group of experts.
This article is part of the VENT DIS.COURSE project funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe programme whose aim was to improve energy efficiency in buildings by directly transferring existing knowledge.

This paper presents the EULEB project whose aim is to supply information to architects and engineers throughout Europe and beyond it.
A visual ventilation guiding device for instant estimation of indoor air quality has been developed for that study.
For that study, site measurements have been carried out on two different sites in vacant residential building blocks in Hong Kong to collect radon levels contained in the air within the buildings.
For that study a model on the thermal storage of the indoor goods was set up, then based on the thermal balance of the whole room, the temperature change model was founded.
This paper proposes a multil-input multi-output (MIMO) controller that control temperature and ventilation for multiple zones in a building with a model predictive control strategy (MPC).
For that study, a comparison of the energy use of a floor-supply displacement ventilation system in a large industrial workshop with that of a mixing ventilation system is made for five US climate regions.
For that study, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol concentrations have been measured inside and outside 99 rooms of 42 non-domestic buildings in Nagoya, with no significant correlation.
