The Kindergarten Solhuset is built according to the Active House vision with an emphasize of good daylight conditions and fresh air.
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.

Traditional building technologies establishing highly-breathing multi-layered wall systems provide healthy indoor environment and energy efficiency in buildings due to the use of lightweight, porou
Air tightness is essential to building energy performance, which has been acknowledged for a long time.
Cooking devices are a major source of contaminants in dwellings. They cause exposure to combustion products and vapors.
The ventilation required in order to maintain acceptable indoor hygiene standards results in a significant consumption of energy.
As the benefit of natural ventilation in reducing operational cost is well recognised, the concept of natural ventilation is becoming more received by residents and designers alike.
In low energy buildings and passive houses due to very low heating demands integrated heating and ventilation (VAV or DCV) systems are used to provide proper indoor climate conditions – thermal com
Most existing non-residential buildings have Constant Air Volume (CAV) ventilation leading to over-ventilation in periods with low or no occupancy.
