Ventilation Information Paper no39: “A review of performance-based approaches to residential smart ventilation” provides an overview of the regulations and standards proposing “performance-based approaches” in five countries to promote the use of smart ventilation strategies. It shows that a favorable context exists in many countries for the development of smart ventilation strategies.

In March 2017, AIVC identified smart ventilation for buildings as a new and important topic to be addressed.
Several actions were defined by AIVC Board about this topic in order to exchange and disseminate information on this topic. A working group of AIVC experts from several countries was created. One of its tasks was to agree on a definition of smart ventilation.
The purpose of this ventilation information paper is to present and illustrate this definition of "smart ventilation".

This publication is a special type of technical note, as it does not itself present technical results, but rather aims to guide the reader towards relevant technical information.
Since 2010, the concept of AIVC projects has been implemented, whereby the AIVC board agrees on specific projects that result in a range of outcomes, e.g.:

On 9-10 October 2024, the AIVC – TightVent - venticool 2024 joint Conference "Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality", was organised by the International Network on Ventilation and Energy Performance (INIVE) on behalf of the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre, the Building and Ductwork Airtightness Platform (TightVent Europe) and the international platform for ventilative cooling (
The 46th AIVC 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).
