On 9-10 October 2024, the AIVC – TightVent - venticool 2024 joint Conference "Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality", was organised by the International Network on Ventilation and Energy Performance (INIVE) on behalf of the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC), the Building and Ductwork Airtightness Platform (TightVent Europe) and the international platform for

Airborne contaminants cause significant harm to populations of people. People spend most of their time in their own homes and so their greatest exposure is likely to occur there. Existing standards that govern Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in residential buildings only consider a few contaminants. Exposure to them is limited using threshold mean concentrations over some period of time, but they do consider the harm they cause to populations of people.

This report is a deliverable from IEA-EBC Annex 78 “Supplementing Ventilation with Gas-phase Air Cleaning, Implementation and Energy Implications”. Annex 78 also looked at a new test method for gas-phase air cleaning technologies, how gas-phase air cleaning technologies may partly substitute for outside air, the energy impact of using air cleaners to improve indoor air quality and the long-term performance of gas-phase air cleaners.

Worldwide, there is an increasing number of publications related to air cleaning and there is also an increasing sale of gas phase air cleaning products. This puts a demand for verifying the influence of using air cleaning on indoor air quality, comfort, well-being and health. It is thus important to learn whether air cleaning can supplement ventilation with respect to improving air quality i.e. whether it can partly substitute the ventilation rates required by standards.
