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.

Thermally activated building systems (TABS) are gaining attention as a means of realizing comfort and energy efficiency in office spaces.
Steady state and dynamic simulations tools based on current ISO standards play a crucial role in designing thermal envelopes that are robust and minimise risks of interstitial an
In recent years, the adoption of water-based radiant ceiling cooling systems has been increasing in Japan with the aim of realizing comfort and energy savings.
This paper presents an analysis of the resilience to climate change of a direct adiabatic cooling system integrated within an industrial building.
