Ventilation in low energy refurbished buildings is the cause of a big part of energy losses.
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.
Ventilation in low energy refurbished buildings is the cause of a big part of energy losses.
Ventilation air may be provided in buildings by means of natural or mechanical strategies.
The role of ventilation in achieving acceptable indoor air quality is examined in the light of emerging challenges, alternative mitigation strategies and performance indices within the spatial and
In recent years, as an alternative to continuous control with the use of standard analog automation signals (voltage or current), the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control was introduced.
Choosing the right baseline level of ventilation has a big impact in the calculated energy needs of buildings.
Exposure to air pollution from both outdoor and indoor origins can cause a myriad adverse health effects including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, lung cancer and mortality.
Emergency Temporary Housing units consisting of a light-gauge steel brace construction were built following the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011 (see Appendix).
Stack ventilation systems were installed in German schools constructed around 1900 and are no longer in operation.
