LoginIndoor air contaminants may be grouped into four categories: microbial contaminants; respirable particles; gaseous contaminants, and vaporous contaminants.
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.
This study investigates the impacts of the three different types of carpark namely open (on surface), multistory and integrated carpark.
The instantaneous temperatures close to a diffuser for displacement ventilation have been measured by using a whole-field measuring method.
This paper derives some new analytical solutions for buoyancy-driven natural ventilation in buildings with three openings.
This paper assesses the performance of the ventilation system as applied to a typical patient room using Computational Fluid Dynamics technique (CFD) coupled with the calculation of various ventilation indices.
The increased sensibility, as far as the environmental demands are concerned, has intensified the research which aims at minimizing the energy consumption in buildings as well.
Measurement data and analysis of air distribution in one gymnasium is presented in which the airflow is isothermal.
In air conditioning system, air blowing patterns have very important influence on the comfortable state and the energy consumption of air conditioning environment.
An irregular grids finite volume procedure is presented for flows in complex geometries. The technique carried out computation in the physical plane itself, without any coordinate transformation.
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the performance of an irregular grids finite volume method described in previous article with the use of standard test problem.
The complex design, build, maintain and retrofit process has been mapped in order to provide a logical structure and flow for the kitchen design system.
At present, the studies of thermal comfort of occupants and indoor air quality are mainly not conducted in an apartment unit, but in a single room. Meanwhile, some factors are not taken into account in the research.
The paper shows detailed measurement of the air distribution in a room ventilated by mixing ventilation according to the specifications given by the International Energy Agency work.
There are basically two ventilation principles that can be utilised in a room: mixing ventilation (denoted MV) and displacement ventilation (denoted DV).
Short-circuiting of ventilation air reduces significantly the efficiency of ventilation in diluting and removing contaminants and excess heat.
Velocity and turbulence intensity profiles of airflow inside a section of Boeing 737 aircraft cabin were measured using PIV technique.
The work presented here is a design and implementation of PID control system to regulate a supply duct outlet air temperature in PEM (Personal Environment Module).
This paper investigates ventilation characteristics and room airflow distributions in a workstation area of an office building with a personal environmental system.
This paper presents the concepts of partition by aero-dynamic means; mentions that vertical current partitioning, horizontal current partitioning and displacement ventilation (DV) are the main measures on partition in large spaces; introduces way
Aiming at the running property of hig-speed passenger cars, the paper discusses its indoor air quality's evaluation index and method for calculating outdoor ventilation rate.
