LoginBibliographic 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.

In hot climates ventilation can be a useful means of cooling dwellings, if the outside air is cooler than that inside the dwelling.
Until the late 1950s, virtually no firms specialized exclusively in testing, adjusting, and balancing the components of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems.
This paper discusses guidelines for testing and balancing, lists qualifications for the TAB agency, and gives an overview of TAB work at various stages of construction
Discusses the issues which influence the performance of heat recovery devices within typical building applications.
Organisations in many countries have contributed data to the AIVC to establish a unique collection of numerical data suitable for design purposes and model evaluation.
An interlaboratory comparison using three materials has been organized to assess the agreement among laboratories undertaking tests to characterize the emission of volatile organic compounds from indoor materials and products using small test cham
