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.

Controlling air infiltration is crucial to ensure thermal comfort, optimal performance of ventilation systems, and the overall energy efficiency of buildings.
Buildings energy renovation is a major priority in most European countries in order to achieve a fully decarbonized building stock by 2050.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, e.g., air handling units (AHUs), play a key role in modern building energy systems (BES) as they account for a high share of th
Long-term continuous measurements of temperature, humidity and CO2 concentrations were conducted in offices in three buildings of over 3,000 m² and three non-spec
