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.

Environmental control of basement by heating and dehumidifying the air is widely used in summer. In general, ventilation can make the air more humid.

Natural ventilation can be an effective measure to minimize building energy consumption and to improve indoor air quality.
Allocca C, Chen Q, Glicksman L R
The paper simulates the airflow and temperature fields in a dome Shanghai International Gymnastics Center (SIGC) at one summer day with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software PHOENIS.
Huang C, Li M, Zuo T
In this paper, the distribution features air-conditioning temperature field are discussed with numerical simulation methods for semi-opening large space building.
Gong G, Luo Q, Tang G
The conditioned air is an important element in healthcare applications.
Kameel R, Khalil E E
The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for ventilation research and design of ventilation systems has increased during the recent years.
Topp C, Jensen R L, Pedersen D N, Nielsen P V
If the swirling airflow is formed in the room, the ventilation effectiveness in the room becomes better than by the other method, as the airflow pattern has the fixed direction and the stable airflow path is built up.
Nagano S
This paper deals with the performance evaluation of three types of low-level ventilation systems: the wall displacement ventilation, the floor displacement ventilation and the impinging jet ventilation systems.
Awbi H B, Karimipanah
As researches on air delivery to air-conditioning room are turning from static mode to dynamic mode, especially the natural airflow simulation plan is being put forward, these, in turn, require more thorough understanding and more effective evalua

With the increasing number of private cars possessed by salaried people, there has been a change in the condition of ventilation for underground garage.
Chen G, Liu Z
The paper proposes the definitions of the micro-climate zoned indoor and the controlling, it says apply the micro-climate zoned controlled can decline load and reduce the energy of the air-conditioning system.
Gong G, Ma Y, Du A
Recently the air quality has caused people's great attention, and the appraisal of the air quality has become a hot issue in the worldwide. This paper assets that the age-of-air should be an important index to evaluate the air quality.
Yang J, Wu X, Rong Y
Apart from Government's legislations and regulations, standards and guidelines, administration and publicity, ecological design [1-3] is a necessary approach to a clean environment.
Manuel K K K, Xue C Q
The indoor environment is by far the most important environment from a health perspective. Allergies, airways infections, lung cancer etc.
Sundell J
A research initiative, aimed at obtaining status-quo measurements of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and ventilation characteristics in air-conditioned office buildings in Singapore, has resulted in an extensive database, which details are presented in t
Sekhar S C, Tham K W, Cheong D
One of the reasons for using displacement ventilation is that it may provide better indoor air quality in the occupied zone than conventional mixing ventilation.
Lin Z, Chow T T, Fong K F, Liu J P
This paper presents the feasibility of predicting the transient CO2 levels in a classroom. Air measurements in the classrooms were taken to determine the fresh air change rate and ventilation effectiveness by means of tracer gas method.
