On February 2, 2016, the BUILD UP portal for energy efficient buildings is holding an online webstreamed event to mark the launch of the improved website. Expert speakers will present the findings of the Concerted Action EPBD.
Around 160 participants attended the joint 36th AIVC – 5th TightVent – 3rd venticool conference held in Madrid, Spain September 23-24, 2015. The programme consisted of 3 parallel sessions with contributions from 27 countries and international organisations.
Over 120 presentations were given covering topics ranging from ventilative cooling and thermal comfort, ventilation in relation to IAQ and health, air infiltration through leaks in the building envelope and ductwork.
This book, released by the Energy Performance Measurement Institute, provides significant information on worldwide energy use and residential sector energy use, including many factors that are unique to the residential sector. Energy performance measurement methods and data are presented. Simplification of residential sector energy performance measurement is a key theme.
Looking 5 years behind, it is clear that significant progress has been made in several European countries with regard to building airtightness. On the other hand, this concern is still lagging behind in many regions and/or building sectors, although relevant in terms of energy savings and indoor environmental quality.
The QUALICHeCK webinar: "Building airtightness and initiatives to improve the quality of the works" will be held on Tuesday 12 January 2016, 10:00-11:30 (Brussels time). The objective of this webinar is to give background information on selected initiatives to improve the quality of the works with respect to building airtightness.
