The 2002 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) already indicated the potential importance of airtightness. With the 2010 EPBD recast and its ambitious 2020 targets, there is even more pressure on these aspects since for most European climates and countries, good envelope and ductwork airtightness levels are necessary to achieve nearly zero-energy buildings.

AIRBASE (https://www.aivc.org/resources/airbase) is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years - 1979 to present day- and now includes over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online. 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.
We have just released a new collection of papers linked to ventilative cooling and published during the period of 2012 to 2019! The collection includes 212papers presented at AIVC & venticool annual conferences and publications produced by the IEA-EBC annex 62 ‘ventilative cooling’. The collection is accessible at: https://www.aivc.org/resources/collection-publications/ventilative-cooling
We are pleased to announce that the proceedings & PowerPoint presentations of the 2019 AIVC- TightVent-venticool joint Conference “From energy crisis to sustainable indoor climate – 40 years of AIVC” held on 15-16 October 2019 in Ghent, Belgium are now available to download for FREE on AIRBASE.
In May 2020, the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) together with the Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet) and SINTEF Community organized a series of 3 webinars under the theme of "Urban Home Ventilation" to provide insights from national and international experiences in the field. The recordings and the slides of these webinars are available online. Please click on the links below to view the recordings and download the slides.

In general, but in particular in nearly zero-energy buildings, there is a very strong tendency to drastically reduce the heating demand. One adverse side effect is that in doing so, it often increases the risk of overheating in summer and shoulder seasons. This is in particular, but not only, the case for lightweight constructions.
