This position paper gives a brief overview of opportunities and challenges for ventilative cooling solutions both:
To contribute to the 2020 objectives of the EU in the building sector with regard to energy savings and greenhouse gas emissions;
To contain the overheating risk, which is an increasing concern in low-energy buildings.
venticool partners believe policy makers and standard bodies should take steps together with the implementation of the EPBD recast to accelerate the uptake of this technology.

Many aspects of the Memorial Tunnel Fire Ventilation Test Program (MTFVTP) have made it the most comprehensive of its kind, but none more so than the test facility itself The Memorial Tunnel test facility was truly state of the art in fire ventilation testing. Starting with a two-lane mountain tunnel, the engineering consultants for the MTFVTP designed, managed construction for, and maintained a one-of-a-kind facility that allowed testing of seven ventilation concepts and was capable of withstanding nearly 100 fires-four of which were 100 megawatts (MW) (341 MBtu/h) .
