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.
In this paper, current ECS (Environmental Control Systems) have been studied and the risks have been emphasized regarding to air pollutants, health and comfort within the context of indoor air quality.
This paper analyses HVAC systems and their possibilities to face risks in case of environmental emergencies.
The authors have reviewed the literature on the effects of indoor environment on health and performance. And with the existing data have developed some initial models.
Japanese government recommends to keep as effort for energy conservation, an office temperature setting of 28°C. in summer. But economic effects and office worker's productivity must be considered.
The aim of this paper is to sum up the investigations on human responses to transient thermal environment and to predict the possibility of using the findings in practice.
In the literature, different measuring methods around the odour intensity, the perceived air quality and the hedonic sensation of odours exists.The new two step approach for the assessment of the perceived air quality separates clearly intensit
A re-analysis of a study was made : it concerned 10 groups of 6 female subjects performing office tasks at their own pace during several hours exposures to 6 different air quality conditions.
Physical IAQ parameters were sampled and results plotted in an IAQ study of a high-rise building in Hong Kong. Chemical samples were obtained and results indicated acceptable IAQ based on local and international guidelines.

This paper reports on the relationship between dryness of the eyes and the presence of airflow around the eyes..The results of a CFD analysis show that a rising airflow around the body forms a coating over the surface of the face.
For that study , a survey was conducted within a period of one-year by delivering questionnaires to six hundred students in a chinese universtiy (Hunan Province), measurement on the spot and statistical analyses of collected data were made.
As part of a programme of research investigating thermal comfort on underground trains in London, BRE designed and constructed an experimental facility to be as realistic as possible for "passenger " subjects.
Wavelet analysis on fluctuating characteristics of airflow in building environments | 2005 | English
This paper introduces the theory and the application of the wavelet transform method to the study of fluctuating characteristics of airflows in building environments.
In order to detect thermal environment and comfort in trains, a field survey was carried out in 2004.
The refurbishment of public buildings in Greece gives the opportunity to reconsider the design parameters of out of date, or deficiently designed buildings on the one hand and to proceed with retroffitting actions including indoor environmental qu
5 comfort studies were conducted in hot humid regions Japan (for outdoor comfort), Thailand, Singapore and Indonisia (for indoor comfort) : thermal sensations of human subjects were recorded under different conditions of temperature, air speed and
The cold air distribution system using ice thermal storage creates easily a low humidity environment whereas the system using a fluctuating breeze creates the feeling of coolness by actively generating airflow (an intermittent breeze) over the hu
This paper gives the description of two ways of modelling an office building.
A new formula is proposed for expressing a whole body thermal comfort , in a siiting posture, in a non-uniform thermal environment.
