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.
Within the framework of the Dutch participation in IEA Annex XIV "Condensation" field experiments have been carried out to study airborne moisture transport in realistic circumstances.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) task-sharing project "Air Flow Patterns within Buildings" was initiated in May 1988 for a duration of 3,5 years.
The ability to accurately predict air movement and temperature distribution in spaces offers the potential for design engineers to evaluate and optimise room air distribution systems at an early stage, leading to improved thermal comfort and venti
The paper describes work on simplified design methods made in connection with the International Energy Agency programme "Air Flow Pattern within Buildings", Annex 20, subtask 1.
We report on four new full scale experiments that were designed to measure the influence of wind on the ventilation and/or heat loss rates through single large openings: a) test-house with horizontal slit opening, set-up to measure internal pressu
The subtask 2 of Annex XX (Optimization of Air Flow Patterns Within Buildings) involved a research project called "Air Flows Through Large Openings In Buildings".
Airflow through a building has both mean and fluctuating components due to spatial and temporal variations in wind-induced pressures.
Air is the main transport medium for contaminants in buildings. Minimizing source strengths has first priority, second is to control air flow rates, supply and exhaust, and directions between zones in buildings.
"Air Movement and Ventilation Control within Buildings", held 24-27 September 1991, Ottawa, Canada, proceedings published September 1991, Volume 1, pp 141-142.
This paper is based on field measurements in auditoria which were carried out in Norway and in Switzerland. In both cases carbon dioxide (CO2) was chosen as the relevant indicator to establish ventilation demand.
This paper illustrates the principles of demand controlled ventilation systems (DCV) as applied to office buildings.
A passive tracer gas technique has been used in an experimental study of the distribution of contaminants in a room with displacement ventilation.
A commercially available humidity controlled natural ventilation system (Aereco) has been installed in the framework of a CEC demonstration project in 3 apartment buildings in France, the Netherlands and in Belgium.
