Increasing demand for energy efficiency places new requirements on energy use in historic buildings.
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.
Increasing demand for energy efficiency places new requirements on energy use in historic buildings.
For residential forced air heating and cooling systems conventional thinking is that air supply registers should be located under exterior windows.

Harmonisation of indoor products labelling schemes in the EU is an important aspect of the European Commission’s policy making process in the field of indoor air quality and associated health
While it is generally accepted that ventilation-whether natural, mechanical or hybrid- is needed to provide acceptable indoor air quality and prevent building damage, there are debates about the ac
This study assessed the performance of seven new residential cooking exhaust hoods representing common U.S. designs.
There exist several initiatives in different parts of the world to bring a stronger basis to ventilation requirements in relation to indoor air quality and health issues, for example, at LBNL in th
The current development in building energy efficiency towards nearly-zero energy buildings represents a number of new challenges to building design and construction.
