The recordings and the slides of our latest webinar "IAQ sensors for smart ventilation of buildings" held on 6 March, 2018 are now available online at:
In March 2017, AIVC identified smart ventilation for buildings as a new and important topic to be addressed. Several actions were defined by AIVC Board about this topic in order to exchange and disseminate information on this topic. A working group of AIVC experts from several countries was created. One of its tasks was to agree on a definition of smart ventilation.
We are now pleased to announce the release of our Ventilation Information Paper no 38: What is smart ventilation? aiming to present and illustrate this definition of “smart ventilation”.
A proposal for the formation of a new IEA EBC Annex on the topic of Resilient Cooling was presented to the Executive Committee (ExCo) of the International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities programme (IEA EBC) in November 2018. The Annex Concept has been further developed towards a draft Annex Text which will be proposed to the ExCo at its next meeting at Stockholm in June 2018.
The AIVC is very pleased to welcome China as new participating country! China will be represented in the AIVC board by Guoqiang Zhang, Dean of Institute of Sustainable Urbanization and Construction Innovation, Hunan University and Weijun Chen from Hunan Shinilion Energy Saving Sci. and Tech. Corp. Ltd.
The AIVC at present counts 14 countries composing the AIVC Board demonstrating the growing interest on air infiltration and ventilation issues in new and renovated buildings.
The abstract submission deadline for the 39th AIVC - 7th TightVent - 5th venticool joint conference "Smart ventilation for buildings" to be held on 18 and 19 September 2018 in Antibes Juan-Les-Pins, France, has been extended to 20 March, 2018.
