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 present study deals with the feasibility of Flywheel Energy Storage Systems (FESS) in several RES-based stand-alone electricity production systems.
Buildings account for 40% of Europe's energy use and a third of its greenhouse gas emissions.
Nowadays, important efforts are made to reduce the residential building energy consumption.
This work is based on the RESHYVENT project in which the effectiveness of hybrid (i.e.
The present paper deals with the application of 4500 square meters of reflective pavements in an urban park in the greater Athens area.
In this study, the TRNSYS simulation engine was used to investigate the shading and cooling effect of roof added photovoltaics.
Our recent study has shown that the acrylic silicon polymer is useful to formulate self-cleaning topcoat which may maintain the thermal insulation effect of cool roof effectively.
