All new dwellings in England and Wales are required to undergo a model-based overheating risk assessment prior to construction.
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.
All new dwellings in England and Wales are required to undergo a model-based overheating risk assessment prior to construction.
Building ventilation and retrofitting strategies for homes can bring multiple benefits in the context of achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by reducing carbon emissio
A significant challenge lies in decarbonising existing residential stock to meet higher energy performance standards, necessitating increased energy retrofit activity.
Air and airborne contaminant mixing in building spaces is important to ventilation system design and performance, tracer gas measurements of ventilation rates, and occupant expos
