In hot climates a comfortable indoor environment is important. Mechanical fans are often introduced to cool the indoor 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.

This paper investigates the performance of a new attic ventilation concept using low-cost thermoelectric (TE) modules.
There is a need for a greater understanding of the acoustical and airflow performance of interior openings, and of silencers implemented to improve their acoustical performance, in naturally ventil
The redispersion factor of microbe-carrying particles, which is the ratio of the concentration of floor-derived microbes in room air to those on a floor surface, was determined, as was the percenta
Background: Residential natural gas cooking burners (NGCBs) can emit substantial quantities of pollutants and they are typically used without venting.
The climate indicators that are currently used in the building energy area, summations of degree-days, are not suitable for net-zero and low energy analysis, because they fail to characterize the b
This paper focuses on the issue of integrating two or three dimensional models of heat and moisture transfer in porous materials with whole building HAM model-ing.
