On March 24th, June 9th, October 27th & December 15th,2020, Annex 80 scientists, practitioners, and planners as well as representatives from the building cooling associated industry gathered for 4 remote meetings of the Advisory Board of Practitioners. This board, an initiative of Annex 80, AIVC and venticool, was founded to put results of scientific research into action by establishing strong ties to practitioners and to include their practical experience in future research projects.
The 42nd AIVC Conference “Ventilation Challenges in a changing world" will be held on October 5-6, 2022, at the Hilton Hotel, in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. It will be a joint event combined with the 10th TightVent and the 8th venticool conferences.
The conference programme will include well‐prepared and structured sessions focused on the conference topics, invited speakers and long and short oral presentations arising from the call.
We are pleased to announce the release of AIVC's Literature List no 36: Overview of Webinars in cooperation with TightVent Europe and venticool platforms. This report is an overview of all AIVC webinars held since 2012, including information on each event with links to the online recordings and the pdfs to the presentations..

The AIVC (Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre), TightVent Europe (the building and ductwork airtightness platform) and venticool (the platform for resilient ventilative cooling have organised during the past 9 years 34 webinars around a wide range of topics. The main topics of the events held include:
The preparations for the 42nd AIVC-10th TightVent- 8th venticool conference have started. It is the intention to have this conference in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on 5-6 October 2022. A professional conference organizer is involved in these preparations. More information will follow soon so stay tuned!
The venticool platform paper: “Overview of provisions for ventilative cooling within 8 European building energy performance regulations” is now available online. This study aimed to focus on regulatory measures taken or missing regarding ventilative cooling in several countries, which could either inspire developments in other countries or point out specific problems for the market uptake of this technology.

Ventilative cooling (VC) is a way to cool or to prevent overheating in a building by means of ventilation rates higher than hygienic ventilation rates. To this end, natural (such as windows, vents, louvers) as well mechanical (extract or supply fans) ventilation devices can be used.
