The trend to increasingly complex ventilation controls (particularly for residences) is leading to many new possibilities related to IAQ and energy optimization. This project is needed to ensure that ventilation systems claiming to be “smart” meet appropriate performance requirements and to provide technical information for system designers, ventilation codes and standards and researchers.
The objectives of this project are to:
Review technical information to develop consensus for standardization purposes

Internationally there are many different requirements and regulations for ventilation. Sometimes the variation is more than a factor of five. There are strong drivers to reduce energy consumption for HVAC, and therefore the spread in requirements and regulation is worthwhile to study. To reduce ventilation flows there is a necessity to understand the reasons behind. Demand control to reduce this flows is in many countries growing but the control parameters are quite different, for instance humidity versus CO2 control.
The evaluation questionnaire of the 39th AIVC conference: “Smart Ventilation for buildings” was sent out to 207 attendees of the event. The summary of the main outcomes listed below, result from the feedback of 99 participants who filled in the evaluation form.
We are pleased to announce that the AIVC 2019 Conference “From Energy crisis to sustainable indoor climate – 40 years of AIVC" is now accepting abstracts & proposals for topical sessions. The Conference will be held during 15-16 October, 2019 at ‘Het Pand’, the congress centre of Ghent University in Ghent, Belgium.
The conference programme will include well‐prepared and structured sessions focused on the conference topics, invited speakers, long and short oral presentations arising from the call, as well as 90 seconds industry presentations.
The final programme for the joint 39th AIVC, 7th TightVent –& 5th venticool conference “Smart ventilation for buildings” to be held on 18 and 19 September 2018 in Antibes Juan-Les-Pins, France is now available.
The conference will consist of 3 parallel tracks devoted to: Smart ventilation, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and Health relationships, Ventilation and Airtightness and, Ventilative cooling – Resilient cooling, including 115 presentations from the call for papers and presentations on invitation.
The recordings and the slides of our latest webinar "Using Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) sensors to measure Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) for ventilation control" held on 4 September, 2018 and jointly organised with the IEA EBC Annex 68 “Indoor Air Quality Design and Control in Low Energy Residential Buildings” are now available online at:
