LoginMost HVAC systems are designed to supply air based on assumed (usually maximal) rather than actual occupancy, therefore often resulting in over-ventilation.
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.
Access to the publications is free of charge.
A VAV (Variable Air Volume) air conditioning system without reheat of the air supplied is generally regarded as energy efficient.
A literature study is presented on the theories and models dealing with buoyancy-driven ventilation in rooms.
This research aims at quantifying the leakage occurring in Under Floor Air Distribution (UFAD) systems and Over Head Air Distribution (OHAD) systems.
This paper investigates thermal sensation in an air conditioned space with and without a water source such as a water pond and small fountain in Thailand.
Durability of the building envelope is important to new homes that are increasingly built with improved levels of airtightness.
Old buildings that represent and maintain historic values often have poor indoor conditions and energy efficiency.
Vehicular air conditioning systems are directly affected by the ducts and fans of the ventilation system.
