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.
We are pleased to announce the release of AIVC Technical Note #74: Smart Ventilation in Residential Buildings—a comprehensive review aimed at summarizing the available evidence on the benefits of implementing smart ventilation solutions in homes.
This publication focuses on ventilation strategies and their effectiveness, which consists of IAQ benefits, non-IAQ benefits (such as thermal comfort and noise), minimizing energy consumption and minimizing utility bills, and other advantages related to indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
The AIVC is pleased to announce that the slides from the recent international workshop “Indoor Environmental Quality in Sustainable Buildings” are now available online.
The workshop took place on 1–2 April 2025 in Stuttgart, Germany, and brought together German and international researchers, engineers, and experts to exchange knowledge and share recent developments on indoor environmental quality (IEQ), ventilation, health, and sustainability in buildings.

Following the pandemic of Covid-19, the scientific interest in ventilation rate of buildings, and especially in spaces with high occupancy, has increased. The creation of a healthy and acceptable internal environment, especially at workplaces is considered necessary, both to deal with the sick building syndrome, or the spread of various diseases, as well as to improve the comfort of employees.

The Performance 2 project (2020-2024) is a French national research project that aims to evaluate the long-term performance and durability of Humidity-based Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) systems installed in two multi-family social housing buildings, located in Paris and Villeurbanne, France.
