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.
The dynamic thermal interaction between a building and the HV AC systems which service it is still difficult to predict.
Forty years ago, smoke and sulphur dioxide pollution from domestic coal burning caused an air pollution episode that led to the premature deaths of 4,000 Londoners.
The monitoring of air pollution and health levels was carried out in coal burning districts and the districts with central heating in Chengde City.
Household coal burning is one of the major sources of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in African urban residential areas in South Africa.
The properties of particulate filters and gas adsorption filters have been studied to determine the opportunities available for effectively cleaning the outdoor air supplied to buildings located in urban environments.
The Energy Diagnostic System (EDS) automatically reviews the energy condition of a building and performs some simple diagnostics.
Field studies were carried out on air contamination by dust particles from air conditioning systems in four buildings in Tokyo area.
For many years there has been an increasing rate of complaints on the air quality in nonindustrial buildings. The occupants suffer from many diseases especially problems of breathing.
MJM ACOUSTICAL CONSULTANTS INC. has been retained by the CANADA MORTGAGE & HOUSING CORPORATION to conduct a research project on the noise isolation provided by access doors in multi-dwe.lling buildings.
The book of proceedings from the 13th AIVC Conference "Ventilation for Energy Efficiency and Optimum Indoor Air Quality", Nice, France, 14-18 September 1992.
This study has been performed as a complement to the graduate studies of Yonghui Jin at the National Institute of Occupational Health and the Royal Institute of Technology.
