Register now for the AIVC workshop on IAQ metrics
17-02-2017 | Belgium
The final programme for the AIVC workshop: “Is ventilation the answer to indoor air quality control in buildings? Do we need performance-based approaches? to be held in Brussels, Belgium on 14-15 March, 2017 is now available. The event aims to identify the pros and cons of performance-based approaches and metrics that can be considered to assess the indoor air quality (IAQ) performance of ventilation systems, as well as to draft guidelines for their use in standards and regulations.
Presentations & speakers include:
- Considerations on IAQ metrics from regulatory and compliance point of view – Use of IAQ metrics in practice, Peter Wouters, BBRI, Belgium
- Defining the metrics to assess the IAQ in low-energy residential buildings: results from IEA EBC Annex 68 Subtask 1, Marc Abadie, U. La Rochelle, France
- The promise and problems of performance-based ventilation, William P. Bahnfleth, Pennsylvania State University, USA
- What can (‘t) perceived air quality indices tell you about indoor air quality? Pawel Wargocki, DTU, Denmark
- Indoor carbon dioxide as metric of ventilation and IAQ: Yes or No or Maybe? Andrew Persily, NIST, USA
- IAQ assessment in high performing buildings, Kevin Teichman, Environmental Protection Agency, USA
- Rationale behind current ventilation airflow rates, Wouter Borsboom, TNO, the Netherlands
- Concentration versus m3 air per hour – the battle of assessors, Marcel G.L.C. Loomans, Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands
- Status and perspectives for the development of IAQ metrics in the US, Iain Walker, LBNL, USA
- Performance-based control of an adaptive hybrid IAQ system. The user as key performance indicator, Bert Belmans, VU Brussel, Belgium
- Can contaminant air quality indices be used to analyse the risk of airborne cross infections in hospital environments? Manuel Ruiz de Adana Santiago, University of Cordoba, Spain

- Indoor Air Quality and thermal comfort in Irish retrofitted energy efficient homes, Marie Coggins, National University of Ireland, Ireland
- Modelling trade-offs between building energy and health, Catherine Noakes, University of Leeds, UK
- Comparison of different performance-based approaches for the definition of ventilation requirements in dwellings, Samuel Caillou, BBRI, Belgium
