LoginBibliographic 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.
A novel ventilation system has been installed in buildings constructed for the New Campus of the University of Nottingham.
Two systems, one with air re-circulation alone and the other a combination of air re-circulation and energy recovery using plate heat exchangers have been analysed.

This paper describes the development of a hybrid conditioning system that creates a comfortable indoor environment in a building.
The intent of this paper is to present the design process which has created the new SELLIC Library for the University of Edinburgh.
The possibility of using natural ventilation for commercial buildings is increasingly being considered.
Computer modelling is becoming an everyday tool for the building services engineer to ensure that a ventilation design will work early on in the development process.
This paper aims to outline the current state-of-the-art in integrated building simulation for performance prediction of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HV AC) systems.
Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) has rapidly developed as an industrial design and evaluation tool for Building Services Engineering. Providing valuable information via mathematical predictions of fluid flow heat and mass transfer.
The transient performance of displacement ventilation has rarely been studied though many researches have been done on the area..
Combustion gases from diesel engines of trucks accumulate in the apparatus rooms of fire stations when fire trucks and emergency vehicles leave for or return from an emergency run.
A client was pleased with the performance of a recent building designed and built with low energy objectives on the "mixed mode" principle.
Air-to-air heat and moisture exchange between exhaust and supply airflows can substantially reduce HVAC costs.
The starting point for designs which respond to our worsening environmental situation is a study of building form with particular emphasis on the facade and section and on materials.
A technique has been developed to estimate the equivalent leakage area needed in residences to provide a quantity of infiltration-driven air exchange which exceeds a design value for a desired level of frequency of occurrence.
In June 2000 ASHRAE's Standard Project Committee on "Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings", SPC 62.2P, recommended and the Board of Directors approved ASHRAE's first complete standard on residential venti
