The first international conference on compliance and quality for energy efficiency in buildings was organised in Brussels on 30 September 2014. The event represented the main physical opportunity to expand the dialogue on the relevant issues, with the first QUALICHeCK project findings as one of the starting points for discussion. The issue of ventilation and airtightness received specific attention.
There will be similar conferences in Brussels in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
We are pleased that Spain decided to join the AIVC. Moreover, the September 2015 AIVC conference will be held in Madrid.
Indoor air quality and energy efficiency in buildings remain very hot topics on the agenda of many governments, while they are growing as such in others. We are now in front of the AIVC Poznan Conference September 24-25. With the 116 contributions from 27 countries as well as a series of topical sessions, this will again be a major annual meeting point for building professionals, experts and scientists to exchange their views and share their results.
There are at present more than 100 registered participants for this conference which will be held on September 30 in Brussels. Click here for the updated conference flyer. There are several presentations specifically dealing with the topics of ventilation systems, building and ductwork airtightness and ventilative cooling.

This seminar presented work by the IEA EBC Annex 62 which was an international collaborative project on ventilative cooling; it had a four year working phase (2012-2018) and contribution by representatives from 20 universities, research institutes and private industries from 14 different countries from Europe, Japan, China and the US.

Over the recent years more effort has been given to air tightness of public buildings such as hospitals. The demand for well insulated buildings increases the importance for low infiltration air rates and thus the air tightness becomes more important. Besides, air infiltration is a quantitative way to put into requirements for the tenders to fulfill. In this work we describe field measurement of air-tightness on site in early stage of production, as well as field measurement of a whole floor in a hospital building.
