Personal Environmental Control System (PECS) with the functions of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and acoustic has advantages of controlling the localized environment at occupant’s workstation by their preference instead of conditioning an entire room. This improves personal comfort, health and energy efficiency of the entire heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system substantially. Personalized ventilation will also provide improved protection against cross contaminations, which are critical in open plan offices and workplaces with close distance.

As the AIVC was created in 1979, the 40th anniversary of the AIVC was celebrated in October 2019 at the 40th AIVC conference in Ghent. In the context of this celebration, it was decided to publish 2 overview publications:
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.
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.
The Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) is pleased to announce its upcoming international workshop, taking place on April 21–22, 2026, in Madrid, Spain, under the theme “Climate Change, Ventilation and Resilience.”
The workshop will provide an opportunity for Spanish researchers and professionals, as well as international experts, to present and discuss recent advances in relation to the challenges that climate change imposes on buildings, related to indoor environmental quality, ventilation, human health and sustainability.
