In this webinar, we addressed the opportunities to use novel materials (from advanced functional nano-materials to bio-based building materials) as building components to actively/passively manage the IAQ, for example, through active paint, wallboards, and textiles coated with advanced sorbents or catalysts and quantify their potential, based on the assessment framework developed in the IEA EBC Annex 86 “Energy Efficient Indoor Air Quality Management in Residential Buildings”.

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.
Join us on 20 October 2026 from 13:30 to 15:00 CEST for an insightful webinar exploring existing IAQ databases and ongoing efforts to overcome associated barriers

Indoor air quality (IAQ) and ventilation critically influence health, comfort, and energy performance of buildings. Over the past decades, numerous studies and initiatives have produced and studied indoor pollutant concentrations, respective emission rates, and applicable regulations. Yet this knowledge remains fragmented: datasets are dispersed, often not accessible, variably documented, and rarely harmonized, hindering synthesis, comparability, and practical uptake.
This webinar will present existing IAQ related databases and the ongoing efforts to overcome these barriers
We are pleased to announce that the video recordings and presentation slides from our recent webinar, “Improving Indoor Air Quality in Schools” (held on 4 December 2025), are now available on our website.
We are happy to share that the video recordings and presentation slides from our recent webinar, “From Inspections to IAQ Measurement: Exploring Databases for Better Indoor Environments”, held on November 25, 2025, are now accessible on our website.
The Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) will host a webinar on 4 December 2025 (15:00–16:30 CET) dedicated to improving indoor air quality in school environments.
The event will feature presentations by:
James A. McGrath – Maynooth University, Ireland
Grace Zhou – National Research Council, Canada
Henry Burridge – Imperial College London, United Kingdom
Arno Dentel – Technische Hochschule Nürnberg, Germany
Attendance is free of charge, but advance registration is required.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the new AIVC TN68 landing page!
The page presents the key findings from AIVC Technical Note 68 "Residential Ventilation and Health" and provides access to technical summaries, expert analysis, video briefings, and podcast discussions. These essential resources are designed to support building professionals, researchers, and policymakers in understanding the links between ventilation, indoor air quality (IAQ), and health.
