The recordings and the slides of our recent webinar: “Ventilative Cooling – Design and examples” held on March 26th, 2020 and organised with the support of IEA-EBC annex 62 on ventilative cooling and the venticool platform, and in cooperation with the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre, are now available online. 

The March 2020 issue of the AIVC newsletter has just been released. This issue is dedicated to sharing information on our past and future events. Specific contents include:

AIRBASE (https://www.aivc.org/resources/airbase) is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years - 1979 to present day- and now includes over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world.

We have just released a new collection of papers linked to ventilative cooling and published during the period of 2012 to 2019! The collection includes 212 papers presented at AIVC & venticool annual conferences and publications produced by the IEA-EBC annex 62 ‘ventilative cooling’. The collection is accessible at: https://www.aivc.org/resources/collection-publications/ventilative-cooling

ASHRAE has developed proactive guidance to help address coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) concerns with respect to the operation and maintenance of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems.  More information can be found on: https://www.ashrae.org/about/news/2020/ashrae-resources-available-to-address-covid-19-concerns
