The 46thAIVC conference "Innovations in Smart Ventilation and IEQ for Resilient and Adaptive Buildings" will take place on September 30 & October 1, 2026 at the Songdo International District in Incheon, Republic of Korea. This international event will be held jointly with the 14th TightVent Conference and the 12th venticool Conference.
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.
The February 2025 edition of the REHVA Journal has been released, featuring the theme "IEQ at 44th AIVC conference, Model IEQ regulation to fulfil the EPBD 2024"!
The issue includes, among other articles, a selection of papers presented at the 44th AIVC conference - 12th TightVent - 10th venticool conference: "Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality" held in Dublin on October 9-10, 2024.

Window opening behaviour can have an important impact on residential energy use, especially in energy efficient dwellings. A few studies indicated that the window use may be a habitual behaviour, meaning that the behaviour is performed without conscious thought as a consequence of frequently repeating this action. Verbruggen et al. (2021a) developed an event-based residential occupant behaviour model (EROB) based on habits as present in Belgian dwellings, including a window opening model.
