The evaluation questionnaire of the 42^nd AIVC conference: “Ventilation changes in a changing world” was sent out to 142 attendees of the event. 77 participants filled in the evaluation form. We are happy to share with you a summary of the main results!

General outcomes:

AIVC received the sad news that our dear colleague and friend Rémi Carrié passed away on September 11, 2022, after a long illness. Rémi has contributed immensely to the AIVC throughout his professional life. His death represents a great loss for the building science community. 

The September 2022 issue of the AIVC newsletter has just been released. Specific contents include:

The recordings and the slides of the recent venticool/AIVC & Annex 80 Webinar "Resilient cooling of buildings. Case studies and policy recommendations" are now available online at: https://www.aivc.org/event/20-september-2022-webinar-resilient-cooling-buildings-case-studies-and-policy-recommendations

The transition to climate neutrality has a large impact on the job of building and HVAC designers, manufacturers, installers, investors, etc. Renovating our building stock to make it more energy efficient is a huge task. Both research and practice prove that users have an important impact on this performance. Human-building interactions, like window opening, thermostat and solar shading usage, affect the performance of the building and HVAC systems.

The recordings and the slides of the recent venticool/AIVC & Annex 80 Webinar "Examples of resilient cooling solutions" are now available online at: https://www.aivc.org/event/13-september-2022-webinar-examples-resilient-cooling-solutions
