The air infiltration of a building, which fundamentally depends on its airtightness, can be a significant contributor to its heat loss.
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 air infiltration of a building, which fundamentally depends on its airtightness, can be a significant contributor to its heat loss.
Because of the need of energy conservation and Business Continuity Planning (BCP), natural ventilation system, which basically does not use non-renewable energy, is attracting academic/practical at
A systematic and efficient strategy is needed to assess and manage the potential risks to human health that arise from the manufacture and use of thousands of chemicals.
Most of the degradation of works of art in historic buildings is caused by unfavourable indoor climate conditions.
A ductwork system that has limited air leakage, within defined limits, will ensure that the design characteristics of the VAC system are sustained.
Ventilative cooling (VC) is an application (distribution in time and space) of air flow rates to reduce cooling loads in spaces using outside air driven by natural, mechanical or hybrid ventilation

Demand controlled ventilation systems are representing a large majority of installations in France. They are commonly used for more than 35 years.
