There have worldwide been many activities during and after the COVID-19 pandemic to develop guidelines, standards, or new regulations to decrease the risk of cross contamination in the indoor environment. Especially after it had been documented that ventilation plays a significant role in decreasing spreading, several organizations working with ventilation and the indoor environment have been active in leading research and distributing information. The present webinar includes presentations of new guidelines, standards, or regulations from North America, Europe and Asia.
The abstract & topical session submission deadlines for the AIVC -TightVent - venticool 2024 Conference: “Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality” to be held during 9-10 October 2024 in Dublin, Ireland have been extended!

Building airtightness tests are now required or promoted in more and more countries, in particular for residential buildings. However, airtightness tests in high-rise buildings remain particularly challenging and uncommon. In addition to the difficulties of pressurizing any large-volume building and the wind issue that can be more pronounced at height, the stack effect can be particularly problematic.
We are happy to inform you that the recordings and slides of the AIVC webinar; "Smart ventilation in non-residential buildings. How to assess? How to design?" held on 12 December, 2023 are now available online here.

Annex 87 held its second working phase meeting in a hybrid format in Lausanne, Switzerland on September 11th and 12th, 2023. There were 16 in-person attendees and around 28 online attendees. The annex team had very fruitful discussions on the annex in general and on subtasks. The progress in subtasks and the next steps were discussed. Most of the subtasks made substantial progress by breaking down the work into smaller parts and having started the work.
On November 15th, 2023, IEA EBC Annex 80 scientists, designers as well as representatives from the building cooling and ventilation associated industry gathered for the 8th meeting of the Advisory Board of Practitioners (ABoP).
