The protection from chronic harm provided by exposure limit values (ELVs) is evaluated for indoor air contaminants set by regulatory bodies of member countries in the Air Infiltr
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.
The protection from chronic harm provided by exposure limit values (ELVs) is evaluated for indoor air contaminants set by regulatory bodies of member countries in the Air Infiltr
The inclusion of health-based performance indicators and metrics in ventilation system design and research is a widely discussed topic in recent years.
Ensuring an indoor environmental quality that is acceptable to the majority of users, while also being energy efficient is a challenge.
The global increase in building cooling demands poses a challenge for designers striving for net zero energy consumption.
Ventilative cooling is a free cooling methodology, harnessing the cooling potential of the outdoor air to remove excess heat, without the use of thermodynamic process, thereby sa
