Ventilative cooling is the use of natural or mechanical ventilation strategies to cool indoor spaces. It can significantly reduce the cooling energy demand in summer or mid-season conditions. Therefore, ventilative cooling is increasingly common in NZEBs.

This BUILD UP Web Seminar will address the following:

  • Challenges for ventilative cooling in the context of NZEB - the venticool platform;
  • Potential energy savings and the new IEA EBC Annex 62 on ventilative cooling; and
  • Case studies - demonstrated high level summer comfort in real buildings.

Speakers:

  • Peter Wouters, International Network for Information on Ventilation and Energy Performance (INIVE eeig)
  • Per Heiselberg, Aalborg University (Denmark)
  • Flourentzos Flourentzou, ESTIA (Switzerland)
