LoginThe fan pressurization method is a common practice in many countries for measuring the air leakage of houses. The test results are sensitive to uncertainties in the measured pressures and airflows.
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.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
In the UK, people spend over 90% of a day indoors.
Nowadays people spend an average of 87% of their time inside buildings. Schools are a particularly delicate type of buildings for several reasons.
People spend approximately 90% of their time within indoor environments, and consequently, characterizing the chemistry of indoor air is valuable from a human health perspective.
In this extended abstract, we introduce the new IEA EBC Annex on 'Energy Efficient IAQ Management in residential buildings'. In this Annex, we address a number of challenges in implementing smart IAQ management strategies.
The ALLO project aims to be innovative in the way it approaches information and its dissemination to residents who are concerned about air quality in their home or are not familiar with the subject.
The sudden global outbreak of coronavirus diseases 2019 (COVID-19) has infected over seventy million people and resulted in over one million deaths by the end of 2020, posing a significant threat to human health.
Purpose of the work
Worldwide, the demand for airtightness tests of tall buildings with a height of approximately 100 m is increasing.

Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
Was ist zu tun bei einem visuellen Schimmelbefall auf der Baustelle?
Wie kann ich einen verdeckten Schimmelbefall lokalisieren?
Weltweit steigt die Nachfrage nach Luftdichtheitsprüfungen von hohen Gebäuden mit einer Höhe ab ca. 100 m.
Airtightness is mandatory, as are ventilation concepts. Today, the construction/renovation of a building without a ventilation system is impractical in terms of energy efficiency.
Aus praktischer Sicht möchte ich über Erfahrungen von zwei Messungen an einem speziellen, besonders dichten und ungewöhnlichen Objekt berichten: Es geht um eine "Betonhalle zur CO2-Speicherung in Recycling-Beton".
Ziel der Arbeit/Fragestellung
The book of proceedings of the 13th International BUILDAIR Symposium "Airtight Buildings, Thermography and Ventilation Systems in Practice", held on June 2-3 2023 in Hannover, Germany. Contains 36 abstracts.

Purpose of the work
I would like to report on lessons learned in the field regarding two measurements at a special, particularly airtight and unusual building: A "concrete shell for CO2 storage in recycled concrete aggregates".
