LoginOQAI (French Permanent survey on Indoor Air Quality) has collected a wide knowledge related to Indoor Air Quality in France .
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 order to develop effective enclosure design, to set achievable performance requirements and to verify compliance in construction, it is necessary to understand air barriers in so far their use is one of the key strategies in the control of airf
The aim of that experimental and modelling study is to determine the impact of different ventilation strategies on indoor particle concentration.
To assess the effectiveness of a new generation of three high volume, ceiling-mounted , high efficiency particulate air (HEPA -ultraviolet (UV) air filters (HUVAFs) for the removal or inactivation of bacterial aerosol was the aim of that study
A field study was undertaken to evaluate and define the role of different filter efficiencies in attaining and sustaining clean HVAC componenets and distribution systems. The results of that fiels study are discussed in that article.
The overburden removal and mining process can be extremely dusty and therefore cause excessive dust exposure.
Indoor air quality directly impacts the health of patients and hospital staff. In-room air purifiers in supplement to existing air ducts and vents, appear to be a wise investment.
The development of a low order model is outlined in this paper, it can be used for control purposes , and for the quantification of ventilation performance in ventilated systems.
A two-stage method is described in this paper. Its aim is to perform parametric and analytic studies of natural ventilation for summer cooling.
In the airtightness testing industry, the upper limit for large buildings to be tested was 5000 m2.
That paper shows how a top-down precooled natural ventilation can be an effective and energy efficient technique for providing thermal and ventilation comfort in a wide range of modern buildings during high summer or in warm climates, when used pr
This study is part of an ongoing investigation concerning an innovative technology for whole house ventilation.
This paper describes first the specific challenges associated with adapting performing arts buildings for natural ventilation.
One part of this paper deals with the contribution of the products of consumption on indoor air pollution and the available data collected in that field .
Due to the rapid growth of the country, prototype school buildings in Saudi Arabia were designed with little effort made towards the utilization of the natural resources to improve indoor conditions.
The solar façade of the FIAT Research Center (CRF) was realized recently near Turin in Italy, under cooperation between CRF and Politecnico di Milano.
The growing demand for better environmental conditions, especially in offices, has increased the need for appropriate standard in order to success the maximum productivity, to minimize the problems of health and the functional cost of air-conditio
A simplified method was investigated for estimating the dynamic pressure tangential to an opening (Pt) with Irwin’s surface wind sensor.
Urban areas tend to have higher air temperatures than their rural surroundings as a result of gradual surface modifications that include replacing the natural vegetation with buildings and roads.
The window is one of the most important elements in architecture. It has a complex character and fulfills multiple functions but it is a privileged device to connect the interior with the exterior.
