The installed performance of cooking exhaust fans was evaluated through residential field experiments conducted on a sample of 15 devices varying in design and other characteristics.
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.

Mixing and displacement ventilation are common systems in commercial buildings, while mixing ventilation is used in residential buildings.
Nowadays many people spend most of their time indoors, so the quality of indoor air has significantly impacted human health and comfort.
There are various demands for air-conditioning in each office space resulting from the variability of thermal distribution caused by a bias of heat sources.
Ventilation systems are primarily designed for ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ). However, building energy requirements tend to put demand on reducing air change rates.
Distributed demand control ventilation (DDCV) has shown potential for improving both indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy consumption over conventional ventilation systems.
Hybrid ventilation represents an interesting option both to guarantee good air quality for indoor environments and to reduce the energy consumption related to the mechanical motivation of the air.
Nowadays, the ceiling slot diffuser is very popular in offices.
