The international standards for indoor environmental quality (ISO17772-1 and EN16798-1)open up for a possible reduction in required ventilation if gas phase air cleaning is used. This has been followed up by an IEA-EBC Annex 78...
On March 30th, Annex 80 scientists, practitioners, and planners as well as representatives from the building cooling associated industry gathered for the 5th meeting of the Advisory Board of Practitioners. This board, an initiative of Annex 80, AIVC and venticool, was founded to put results of scientific research into action by establishing strong ties to practitioners and to include their practical experience in future research projects.
Well-insulated and air-tight buildings are known to be vulnerable to overheating. An increase in the severity and duration of heatwaves is expected, resulting in more severe overheating risks, affecting in turn the health and mortality of building users. To achieve more future-proof buildings, it is crucial to design buildings that are “resilient” to overheating in future climate conditions.

On March 30, 2022 AIVC sent feedback to the European Commission’s Proposal for a Recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
The AIVC has put forward some elements to be taken into account by the European Commission. AIVC’s input to the EPBD revision, structured by remarks & proposals for amendments of the public consultation document, is available to read and download here.
