LoginThe ventilation potential of buildings is widely affected by the building location, wind direction, space between buildings : so when high-rise buildings are too close, the influence of adjacent buildings on the availability of cross-ventilation h
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.
Personalized ventilation (PV) aims at improving ventilation in the immediate breathing zones of occupants in the built environment.
In this paper, the numerical methods are first validated by experiments, then a seated computational thermal manikin (CTM) is used to carry out the parameters study of Personalized Ventilation .The modeling outcome shows that in a stagnant envi
For that field study, measurements of different aspects of an UFAD (UnderFloor Air Distribution) system performance were made in an office building. The results show evidence of the benefits provided by UFAD on indoor air quality.
The vortex ventilator (VV) is a new concept of local exhaust ventilation system.
For the investigation of the personalized ventilation efficiency and the study of human exposure in a displacement and mixing ventilated room, a seated computational thermal manikin with the geometry of a real human body has been used.
To protect the workers from stress with radiation heat in workshops, a study of the environment thermal state has been carried out.
Urgently, bio-hazardous air cleaners had been developed in Taiwan hospital to control the Severe Acute Respirator Syndrome (SARS).The building up and the fuming gas decontamination of bio-hazardous air cleaners are illustrated in this paper along
This paper discusses how to calculate the LCC (life cycle cost) for different indoor climate systems in typical Swedish buildings in the aim to help the client in choosing the most appropriate indoor climate system in a certain situation.
This paper focuses on the methods for an efficient use of upper openings in large space buildings in Shanghai International Gymnastics Stadium.
The distributions of air velocity, temperature and humidity are affected by the types and shapes of diffusers for supply air in an occupied zone. So it is important to select proper diffusers in the design procedure of the HVAC systems.
In California, the relocatable classrooms are typically under ventilated : such conditions affect the quality education and the student health.
For that study, surveys were first performed to study the relationship between indoor temperature and air conditioner On control. Then, a control behavior model including cross ventilation, based on the survey results was devised.
This paper presents a numerical method for the study of cross-ventilation with respect to the use of local dynamic similarity model.
For that study, a mathematical analysis is applied graphically and quantitatively to investigate the multiple steady state behavior of combined buoyancy and wind driven natural ventilation system.The necessary conditions for that multiple steady
A numerical simulation and experimental measures were made on a prototype specially built for that study of a new system of air distribution inside an hospital railway coach.For the air injection into the carriage, high-induction terminal, in part
In this paper, a theoretical analysis is performed to analyze the effective air exchange rate by fluctuating flow for natural ventilation. A simple model is proposed for the analysis.
The authors have tested a combined system of chilled ceiling, displacement ventilation and dessicant dehumidification. Each part is analyzed with its advantages and shortcomings.
That study aims at improving thermal comfort in the carriage of a new developed high-speed train. To figure out the air distribution pattern a CFD method is used and a prototype experiment validates the method.
A good performance of air diffuser is essential for an efficient ventilation and thermal comfort.
