Much progress has been made to improve the airtightness level of new buildings. Still, little is known about the durability of building airtightness, or the impact of degradation on airtightness. This report presents a comprehensive review of studies that deal with building airtightness durability. Regarding field measurement studies, the envelope airtightness seems to decrease during the first years after achievement and then stabilize. However, these variations are rarely explained. Key elements that may drive airtightness variations were identified.

Exposures in homes constitute the major part of exposures to airborne pollutants experienced through the human lifetime. They can constitute from 60 to 95% of our total lifetime exposures, of which 30% occurs when we sleep.
A new article collection of the International Journal of Ventilation features a selection of papers from the peer-reviewed tracks of the 43rd and 44th AIVC Conferences.
We are pleased to share that the presentation slides from the AIVC 2026 workshop “Climate change, ventilation, and resilience” are now available online.
The workshop brought together researchers, industry professionals, and international experts to exchange insights and discuss the latest developments addressing climate change challenges. Key topics included indoor environmental quality (IEQ), ventilation strategies, human health, and sustainable building solutions.
We are pleased to share that the latest Annual Report from IEA EBC is now available.
The report provides an overview of progress made by the EBC Programme during 2025, including summaries of new, ongoing, and recently completed projects. It is structured in three parts: the Chair’s Statement, project progress reports, and practical background information. It also includes a summary of the Programme’s latest outcomes intended for policy and decision makers.
The report features a dedicated section on Annex 5: “Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre.”
The AIVC is proud to be a signatory of the Global Pledge for Healthy Indoor Air, launched at United Nations Headquarters in New York City in September 2025. The Global Pledge is the first international commitment recognizing clean indoor air as a fundamental human right.
We joined over 240 organizations and the governments of France and Montenegro in this global movement to ensure that everyone, everywhere, breathes healthy indoor air.
