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: 

The 2018 AIVC workshop was held in Wellington, New Zealand on 19-20 March. The theme of the workshop was how airtightness and ventilation can contribute to better buildings. The workshop brought together researchers, policy makers, designers and practitioners.

venticool has just released a new report in the context of IEA EBC Annex 62 ventilative cooling.

This background report Status and recommendations for better implementation of ventilative cooling in standards, legislation and compliance tools, presents insights on recommendations into how ventilative cooling is integrated in EN standards, ISO standards, national standards, national legislation and national compliance tools. It is intended for building designers, builders and experts working with building energy performance standards, legislation and compliance tools.

Registration is still open 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.

There will be a total of 17 topical sessions:

On 19 June 2018, the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU) 2018/844 was published in the Official Journal of the European Union, following its formal approval by the Parliament on 17 April 2018 and by the Council of Ministers on 14 May 2018.

Register now for the 39^th AIVC - 7^th TightVent - 5^th venticool joint conference "Smart ventilation for buildings" to be held on 18 and 19 September 2018 in Antibes Juan-Les-Pins, France.
