Bibliographic database Airbase

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.

Airtightness is mandatory, as are ventilation concepts. Today, the construction/renovation of a building without a ventilation system is impractical in terms of energy efficiency. The minimum air change rate and moisture protection should not be neglected either. According to my experience as an expert in this field, more than 75 % percent...

Luftdichtheit ist Pflicht und damit auch Lüftungskonzepte. Heute ein Haus ohne Lüftungs-anlage zu bauen / sanieren, ist energetisch nicht sinnvoll. Ebenfalls dürfen der Mindest-luftwechsel und auch der Feuchteschutz nicht vernachlässigt werden. Mehr als 75 % aller Lüftungsanlagen sind nach meiner Erfahrung als...

Windows are positioned / adjusted before occupants moving into a building. Their settings may change due to their daily use and mechanical or other impacts during their service life. A window service readjusts the windows. The project investigates potential savings in terms of air infiltration and energy savings as such...
