LoginThe paper explores whether replacing old windows, in a significant proportion of UK dwellings, could reduce air change rates below recommended levels unless additional controllable ventilation is installed at the same time as new windows.For that
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.
Experiments were conducted in the mockup of a Boeing aircraft cabin section located in the BESS(Bioenvironmental Engineering Structure Systems) lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Increasing ventilation rates do not always improve IAQ, but proper ventilation strategies are the keys to improve it.
In Korea, almost all flats have the structure of concrete that is cast in forms and ties are used tofix forms. Tie holes are usually filled with cement mortar.
This paper investigates the feasibility of reducing the outdoor air ventilation requirements by selectinglow-emission materials, while still maintaining acceptable IAQ, for a residential building.
In this paper, applied the SARS particle thresholds, the distribution of SARS virus particles in rooms with three different ventilation types and two different virus source locations are compared.
Tracer gases and its monitoring method were studied in measurement of ventilation rate by use ofconcentration-decay method.
In this emergency ventilation investigation, the aim of ventilation is to minimize the influence of contaminative gas upon the occupants.A two-dimensional Cellular Automata model is used to calculate the occupants developing distribution during a
A well adjusted ventilation is useful to save heating energy with regard to hygienic aspects or aspects of building materials maintenance.For that study, a simple device was developed with the VVGD, it aims at helping housing users to perform a s
Few studies have addressed the issue of how to make improvements to avoid Taiwanese housewives exposing to excessive quantities of air pollutants when cooking.
This paper considers regulations and standards and compare them about their requirements in ventilation flow rates and IAQ.
The aim of this paper was to study the effect of duct cleaning on the perceived air quality. Duct cleaning was carried out in 10 non-problem Finnish office buildings between 1997 and 2000.
This paper presents an experimental study with numerical predictions of airflow and temperature characteristics.
Experimental measurements and CFD simulations were carried out to study the contaminant dispersion in a ventilated room with an area source release.
In order to evaluate the impact of potential interventions on indoor contaminant concentrations and occupant exposures, a simulation study was conducted using the multi-zone IAQ model CONTAM.This paper describes the building model and eight inter
This project brought together, during a two-day meeting, six experienced IEQ investigators with decades of combined problem-solving experience in thousands of buildings.
The air contamination has become a problem in Japanese classrooms. The indoor measurement of Formaldehyde and VOC has become compulsory according to the law.
This paper presents the first design code for sports buildings in China : it includes an important chapter on indoor air environment dealing with indoor air velocity, temperature, humidity and fresh air volume.This code could be a guide for the d
A downward ventilation system has been proposed as a standard ventilation design by Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) in Hong Kong for isolation rooms.
In 2003, a SARS negative pressure isolation ward was built in Beijing to isolate patients. According to it, the authors carried out a numerical simulation and validated the experiment to optimize the indoor air distribution for it.
