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 scientific paper at the Bauhaus University Weimar investigated the possibilities and limits of thermography when using it for qualitative and quantitative evaluations of thermal bridges. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate the added value of such evaluations...

Usually, it is easier to plan and install airtight barriers in new buildings than in old buildings. When combining professional technical plans based on well-known and specific (mostly also tried and tested) materials with professional workmanship and ongoing quality controls you will be able to create a permanently airtight barrier...

Die Planung und Ausführung der luftdichten Ebene bei Neubauten gestalteten sich gewöhnlich einfacher als bei Altbauten. Eine qualifizierte Planung, mit Vorgaben von durchwegs bekannten und bestimmbaren (meist auch bewährten) Materialien, in Verbindung mit einer fachgerechten Ausführung und einer parallelen...
