The Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) together with the Eduardo Torroja Institute for Construction Science (CSIC) (IETcc-CSIC) and venticool are organising a workshop entitled ‘Climate Change and Resilient Ventilation’ to be held on 21-22 April 2026 in Madrid.
Join us in Madrid for the AIVC 2026 International Workshop on “Climate Change, Ventilation and Resilience”.
Dates: April 21–22, 2026
Location: Madrid, Spain
This international event is organised by the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) in collaboration with the Eduardo Torroja Institute for Construction Science (CSIC), and facilitated by INIVE (International Network for Information on Ventilation and Energy Performance).
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 AIVC 2024 workshop “Ventilation, IEQ & Sustainability" organised in collaboration with ASHRAE Singapore Chapter was held on 18-19 April 2024 in Singapore. Participation was possible in person and the event drew over 160 participants - researchers, engineers & architects and industry representatives. The programme included 21 presentations grouped into 3 sessions: “Optimising Indoor Air Quality for Climate Resilience”, “Reducing Carbon Footprints: The Role of Energy efficient Ventilation Technologies” & “Smart Building Automation for Climate-Adaptive Ventilation”.

The purpose of this study is to figure out the characteristics of thermal environment in a workshop at school in Japan and to propose the improvement method of the thermal environment without air-conditioning systems. In this paper, measurement results of thermal environment in the workshop and calculation results of vertical temperature gradient are shown. In the measurement results, indoor air temperature became very high in summer. Solar radiation was the main factor raising the temperature of PC roof, and large vertical temperature gradient was formed.

In recent years school buildings, containing the workshop in high school, are old in Japan. Therefore most of them need renovating. Any air-conditioning systems are not often installed in the workshops. Workshops without air-conditioning systems often have bad indoor thermal environments. Since bad thermal environment is exhausting and likely to cause some accidents, eco-renovation method for improvement of thermal environment is required. In this paper, various kinds of eco-renovation methods are examined by CFD simulation.
