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.

Three very different task/ambient conditioning (TAC) systems were investigated in a climate chamber.

Air recirculation in the new office and laboratory building of the Norwegian Institute for AirResearch was discovered and characterised from a leaking sulphur hexafluoride cylinderstored in the garage.
Rydock J P
The performance of a hybrid air-conditioning system which utilises wind-induced cross ventilation is investigated.
Kato S, Murakami S, Chang H, Chikamoto T, Kim T
A general trend in intelligent buildings is the decentralization of environmental controlsystems. Decentralized environmental control systems have many advantages over centralizedsystems.
Jeong K-B, Kim J-J
Models are presented for describing the performance of room air cleaners in removing pollutants from indoor air, particularly the levels of removal that can be achieved in practice.
Brown S K
The fractional collection efficiency (FCE) tests of a commercially available two-stageelectrostatic precipitator (ESP) have been performed for six flow rates.
Agranovski V, Morawska L, Ristovski Z, Jamriska M
A number of studies have shown that approximately 1 in 10 hospital in-patients will acquire a nosocomial infection (NI) '*).These infections are associated with significant mortality rates, and have a large economic impact on health care systems.
Beggs C B, Sleigh P A, Donnelly J K, Kerr K G, Mara D D
As a result of the recent resurgence in tuberculosis (TB), there has been renewed interest inengineering controls to reduce the spread of TB and other airborne infectious diseases in highrisk settings.
Miller S L, Xu P, Peccia J, Fabian P, Hernandez M
Airborne fungi in indoor air has the possibility to cause the air pollution problems of the fungally infection syndrome and the allergy syndrome, etc. in residence environments.
Moriya Y, Miyaji T, Yamayoshi T
Avariety of gaseous pollutants in indoor air now are becoming an object to control.
Sakamoto K, Fukumuro T, Ishitani O, Kohno H
Air cleaners are unitary devices that contain filtration media and fans. They are marketed for cleaning air in rooms.
Bohanon H R, Nelson P R, Wilson R K
The goal of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of stand-alone modular airpurification systems in improving air quality in dental practices and certain hospital andlaboratory environments.

Photocatalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) with short-wavelength UVlight (254 nm) is an attractive technique in the view of perfect mineralization to CO2.
Sekiguchi K, Ishitani O, Sakamoto K
Indoor air quality is decreasing year by year. It is very necessary to find a kind of efficient cleaner to improve the indoor air quality. Two kinds of cleaners were tested. Both of them were made in China. Four simulated chambers were used.
