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 problem in a livestock building ventilated in the system with wall inlet at two sides is wind effects to the indoor air flow patterns.
Zhang G, Lee S-H
This paper deals with the convective flow through a horizontal aperture connecting two superimposed large enclosures which are kept at different temperatures.
Blay D, Tuhault J L, Pinard S
The air flow in a doorway is governed by density difference caused by temperature difference and pressure difference caused by mechanical ventilation.
Blomqvist C, Sandberg M
Studies of airflow between two adjacent spaces of building were carried out using CFD simulation. The results of CFD simulation were validated against test data set obtained from full-scale experimental tests.
Tang D
We present a series of analogue laboratory experiments of the transient exchange flow between a room filled with warm air and a cold exterior following the opening of a doorway.
Gladstone C, Woods A, Phillips J, Caulfield C
This study utilizes the two-chamber model to simulate naturally ventilated airflow through a window opening in a common- type bedroom in Taiwan.
Chiang C M, Chou P C, Lai C M, Wang W A, Chao N T
Recommendations for the characteristics of anemometers that will ensure accurate velocity measurements are specified in the present standards.
Melikov A K
This paper presents results belonging to a larger investigation on low velocity indoor air jets. The experiment is undertaken in a climate room where an isothermal air jet is issued from the centre of one lateral wall.
Todde V, Linden E, Sandberg M
The buoyant plume characteristics of heat sources and their relation to geometric factors are of fundamental importance to the effectiveness of the displacement ventilation.

The main purpose of buildings is to provide a comfortable living environment for their occupants. This includes, among others, thermal, visual and acoustic comfort as well as indoor air quality.
Roulet C-A
Recent research suggests that fine-particulate air pollution increases the incidence of lung disease and pre-mature death.
Taylor B J, Webster R, Imbabi M S
Until now, there is no widely accepted way to express any index for this purpose and taking into account the large variety of possible pollutants.
Millet J R, Villenave J G, Feustel H, Yoshino H
This paper presents an analysis of the emission of chemical compounds and their diffusion in a room by the technique of computational fluid dynamics. A polypropylene styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) plate was chosen as the TVOC emission source.
Murakami S, Kato S, Ito K
In this paper, we are particularly interested in the automatic generation of zonal model. We show how a.
Gagneau S, Allard F, Beghein C, Wurtz E
During a field study of the thermal comfort of workers in natural ventilated office buildings in Oxford and Aberdeen, UK, we.re carried out which included information about use of building controls.
Raja I A, Nicol J F, McCartney K J
 This study is aimed to spread the intelligent design tool of ventilation in buildings and to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in rooms.
Kobayashi H, Utsumi Y, Kadoya T
This project has studied a selection of 16 typical museums for antiquities in five Mediterranean countries and was partly funded by the JOULE III of the European Commission DG XII.
