Cooling in high ambient temperature (HAT) countries is a major energy consumer.
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.
Cooling in high ambient temperature (HAT) countries is a major energy consumer.
In future building regulations, building performance is going to be extended to global performance, including indoor air quality (IAQ).
Most existing office buildings are equipped with indoor environmental quality (IEQ) sensors that are connected to the Building Management System (BMS) and provide feedback to the
Improving actual operation performance of room air conditioners (RAC) shows great importance in the indoor environment and building energy conversation.
Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems attempt to achieve a uniform indoor environment.
