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.

On 9-10 October 2024, the AIVC – TightVent - venticool 2024 joint Conference "Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality", was

Germany has already garnered some experience with serial refurbishments of its existing building stock. When mounting a heat-insulating building envelope during serial modernization you usually incorporate an airtight barrier as well. First of all, however, the question arises as to where to install...

As a consultant and operator of Blower Door testing, one often wonders about the durability of materials over a building's lifetime. It is not uncommon to see products where tapes and sealing materials fail after a very short period. This raises the question of whether airtightness can truly be considered a quality parameter...
