The 38th AIVC conference "Ventilating healthy low-energy buildings" will be held on 13 and 14 September 2017 in Nottingham (UK) together with the 6th TightVent conference and the 4th venticool conference. 

Abstract submission is now open. More information is available here.

The conference, co-organized by ASHRAE and AIVC, takes place Sept. 12-14, 2016, in Alexandria, Va., at the Crowne Plaza Old Town Alexandria.

During the joint CLIMA 2016 and the 12th REHVA Conference held in Aalborg on May 22-25 2016, a specific session dealing with ventilation and air infiltration was organised by the AIVC.

The tenth issue of the TightVent newsletter (June, 2016) is now available.

During the joint CLIMA 2016 and the 12th REHVA Conference held in Aalborg on May 22-25 2016, a specific session dealing with ventilation and air infiltration was organised by the AIVC. The title of the workshop was: “2020 Agenda for Ventilation and Air Infiltration: knowledge gaps, research priorities and the need for innovation”, aiming to look into the future needs concerning ventilation and air infiltration, including comfort and health and considering all building types and climates.

The presentations of the workshop are now available for download:

The International Energy Agency's Energy in Buildings and Communities (IEA-EBC) Programme newsletter of June 2016 (Issue 63) has been released. 

Featured articles include:

• Norway demonstrates zero emission buildings.
• Computational tools for buildings and communities.
• Financing deep energy retrofit projects.
• Reliability of energy efficient building retrofitting.
• Making a case for building energy epidemiology.
• EBC international projects.

A special issue of the International Journal of Ventilation was released in March, 2016 with selected extended papers from the 35th AIVC Conference: “Ventilation and Airtightness in Transforming the Building Stock to High Performance”.

The list of articles includes:

A half day seminar, organised by the Cork Institute of Technology in collaboration with IEA EBC Annex 62 – Ventilative Cooling, will be held on Wednesday, April 20, 2016 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Cork, Ireland.The event will present state of the art in utilising ventilation for reducing cooling energy demand and addressing the risk of overheating in low energy buildings.

With the aim to maximise its impact on the dissemination of information on research and development in the fields of ventilation and air infiltration, the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) continues to “spread the word”, through the organisation of conferences or thematic workshops, the production of technical notes, the cooperation with well-established organisations, the convergence with other information channels and so on.
