Bibliographic database Airbase

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.

Reviews some previous work on the measurement of wind pressures at full-scale. Deals with some of the problems arising.

Newberry C.W.

Describes an instrument for the measurement of air infiltration into buildings.

Orr H.W.

Discusses pressure distribution on buildings. Describes wind tunnel tests on model buildings.

Baines W.D.

Gives equations and charts for the calculation of heat and moisture flow due to natural convection through openings in vertical partitions separating spaces at different air conditions.

Brown W.G. Wilson A.G. Solvason K.R.

Sets out the similarity requirements which must be observed so that results of wind tunnel tests may be used to predict behaviour of full-scale prototypes in the natural wind.

Whitbread R.E.

Describes the basis of operation of electron absorption detector and the nature and causes of the erroneous and anomalous responses it may generate.

Lovelock J.E.

Describes both the macro and micro meteorological structure of strong winds in the earths boundary layer.
