In order to reduce the primary energy consumption of buildings, highly efficient heat recovery of the HVAC system is indispensable.
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.
In order to reduce the primary energy consumption of buildings, highly efficient heat recovery of the HVAC system is indispensable.
Industrial kitchens have high HVAC load requirements due to high exhaust rates from hoods.
Due to the negative effects of Particulate Matter exposure, more and more inexpensive optical aerosol spectrometers and photometers (low-cost PM sensors) are coming to the market
Unintended Infiltration in buildings is responsible for a significant portion of the global housing stock energy demand.
Building simulations are used to investigate building performance and design the building systems optimally.
