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.

An innovative energy management program has been successfully implemented at Mount Isa Mines, Mount Isa. Situated in Australia's north-western Queensland, remote from any electrical grids, Mount Isa Mines, owned by M.l.M.

mechanical ventilation is needed to avoid indoor air quality problems. Many new conventional houses have low natural air change rates ...... and are tight enough to require mechanical ventilation, but most have none.

The ventilation in Norwegian residences was studied with respect to the effect of new standards, construction techniques adopted, and energy conservation measures implemented  This was compared to residential ventilation performance in other count

The ventilation effectiveness concept has been extensively used in research, where it has long been recognised as a good indicator of air quality.

This review examines the available information relating to the ingress of external pollutants into naturally ventilated buildings.

This paper examines three different ventilation strategies aimed at reducing the indoor concentration of traffic pollutants by ventilation control.

With sensor-based demand-controlled ventilation ( SBDCV), the rate of ventilation is modulated over time based on the signals from indoor air pollutant or occupancy sensors.

A C02 concentration of more than 1000 ppm has been monitored in Taiwanese bedrooms during sleeping hours in the wintertime. The high indoor C02 levels were caused by poor ventilation due to insufficient ventilation rates.
