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.

Minimum requirements for adhesive joints ‒ DIN 4108 part 11

Based on an application for standardization by the company ISOVER in October 2007, the German Industrial Standard DIN 4108 – 11 has been cleared by the responsible bodies in DIN for review by the committee NA005-56-93AA, “Airtightness”. The work on the details of the standard has been going on for seven and a half years now...
