The AIVC has just released a new publication!

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #47: High-rise buildings airtightness – error due to stack effect on point measurements gives guidance to perform a pressurization test in high-rise buildings and suggests new criteria to replace standard requirements when they cannot be met.

A special issue of Buildings (ISSN 2075-5309)  is now open for submission.

This Special Issue is motivated by the importance of the airtightness of buildings in terms of indoor air quality and the energy implications of heat transfer. Currently, it is not possible to design and construct nZEB buildings without taking this parameter into account, and it is essential that we can determine this parameter in buildings to be renovated in order to achieve a significant improvement in their final energy consumption. 

The date for the AIVC -TightVent - venticool 2023 Conference: “Ventilation, IEQ and health in sustainable buildings” is now approaching quickly! The conference will be held during 4-5 October 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark. 

More than 190 people have booked their seats for the event!

The event will open with a welcome reception on Tuesday October 3, 2023 at 19:00. 

The conference will start on Wednesday October 4, 2023 at 09:00. On-site registration will be open from 08:00.

The September 2023 issue of the AIVC newsletter has just been released. Specific contents include:

The AIVC is happy to announce the release of a new publication!

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #46: Building airtightness impact on Energy Performance (EP) calculations aims to explain simplified models developed and used around the world to estimate the infiltration rate for Energy Performance (EP) calculations and give some examples of methodologies applied in various countries.

We are happy to inform you that the Energy and Buildings special issue: “Resilient Ventilation in Relation to Health, Safety, and Climate Change”, including also further developed papers from the AIVC 2022 conference, has been published.

The date for the AIVC -TightVent - venticool 2023 Conference: “Ventilation, IEQ and health in sustainable buildings” is now approaching quickly! The conference will be held during 4-5 October 2023 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

More than 160 people have booked their seats for the event!
 
Online registration will be open until Monday September 25, 2023.
On-site registration will be possible during the whole event.
 

On July 7^th 2023, ASHRAE published its pioneering consensus-based, code enforceable standard, developed to reduce the risk of infectious aerosol transmission in buildings, ASHRAE Standard 241, Control of Infectious Aerosols.

The Proceedings of the conference "IAQ 2020: Indoor Environmental Quality Performance Approaches Transitioning from IAQ to IEQ”, organized by ASHRAE and AIVC are now available on AIRBASE, including 110 papers and 16 extended abstracts. 

The conference was held in Athens, Greece on 4-6 May 2022 and it was also the 41^st AIVC - 9^th TightVent & 7^th venticool conference.

We are happy to inform you that a collection of papers from the AIVC 2022 conference has just been published in the International Journal of Ventilation.
