In recent years ventilation system design has seen a shift from design methods based on prescribed flow rates and standard lay outs, towards performance-based approaches which offer opportunities for smart ventilation concepts by considering what ventilation should achieve in terms of indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
The AIVC 2024 workshop “Ventilation, IEQ & Sustainability" organised in collaboration with ASHRAE Singapore Chapter was held on 18-19 April 2024 in Singapore. Participation was possible in person and the event drew over 160 participants - researchers, engineers & architects and industry representatives. The programme included 21 presentations grouped into 3 sessions: “Optimising Indoor Air Quality for Climate Resilience”, “Reducing Carbon Footprints: The Role of Energy efficient Ventilation Technologies” & “Smart Building Automation for Climate-Adaptive Ventilation”.
We are happy to announce that the book of proceedings, PowerPoint presentations and individual papers from the AIVC 2023 conference "Ventilation, IEQ and health in sustainable buildings" held on 4-5 October 2023, in Copenhagen, Denmark are now available to download freely.
Airtightness of exterior walls in buildings has a great impact on indoor environment, energy consumption and overall building performance. However, the measurement of exterior wall airtightness is not easy, especially in...
Epidemic and disaster preparedness of buildings and systems is a key area of concern. The study of how building ventilation and airtightness may contribute to disaster preparedness may lead to better guidelines for...
