The 2002 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) already indicated the potential importance of airtightness. With the 2010 EPBD recast and its ambitious 2020 targets, there is even more pressure on these aspects since for most European climates and countries, good envelope and ductwork airtightness levels are necessary to achieve nearly zero-energy buildings.
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:
