EN 16798-7:2017 considers that windows on roofs that have a pitch below 60° are not included on the windward side whatever their orientation.
Valérie Leprince, Nolwenn Hurel, Christoffer Plesner
In Austria the lack of guidelines or standards has caused many discussions and disputes on the question if “sufficient ventilation” can be ensured with window airing only, in particular in newly constructed, airtight residential buildings.
Gabriel Rojas, Andreas Greml, Rainer Pfluger, Peter Tappler
Wind-driven single-sided ventilation (SSV) is present in many existing buildings across Europe and with new Near Zero Energy Building (NZEB) regulations for the refurbishment of the existing building stock, its attractiveness as a non-invasive, lo

Occupants in residential buildings usually control natural ventilation through window openings.
May Zune, Maria Kolokotroni
In future years the frequency, duration and magnitude of extreme heat events, such as heat waves, is expected to increase due to climate change.
Marcello Avanzini, Joana Ortiz, Thibault Péan, Elisenda Cleries, Luca Borghero, Jaume Salom
In the context of climate change, Building Performance Simulations are used to assess the ability of passive buildings to maintain acceptable comfort conditions, or to limit the air conditioning energy consumption during heatwav
Adrien Toesca, Damien David, Kévyn Johannes, Michel Lussault
Many European programs offer eco-conditioned financial aid to support public policies for the decarbonization of buildings.
Eddy Handtschoewercker, Andres Litvak, Raphael Deprez, Emilie Palka, Jerome Nicolle, Jordan Litaud, Bassam Moujalled
Room pressure differential is an important aspect in order to guarantee sufficient contamination control, but is difficult to control in airtight cleanrooms.
Rick Kramer, Raymon Wasman, Frans Saurwalt, Derek Vissers, Marcel Loomans
By 2050, the European council proposed to achieve total decarbonization in buildings. In this way, building energy models are key factors to predict the energy consumption in the design, use and retrofit stages.
Gabriela Bastos Porsani, Carlos Fernández Bandera
While the importance of air barrier systems in buildings has been understood for decades, it is only in the past decade or so that they have been given appropriate attention in the energy codes of most countries.
Sean M. O’Brien, P.E., Brienna E. Rust, P.E.
With the constant evolution of the French EP-regulations, good building airtightness has become mandatory to reach required energy performance. More than 60,000 airtightness tests are performed each year since 2015.
Bassam Moujalled, Adeline Mélois, Valérie Leprince, Gaëlle Guyot
Worldwide, the demand for airtightness tests of tall buildings with a height of approximately 100 m is increasing.
Stefanie Rolfsmeier, Emanuel Mairinger, Johannes Neubig, Thomas Gayer
Building air infiltration rate is required as an important input in the calculation of building heat loss.
Xiaofeng Zheng, Alan Vega Pasos, Luke Smith, Christopher J Wood
Air leakage in building envelopes is responsible for a large portion of the building’s heating and cooling requirements. Therefore, fast and reliable detection of leaks is crucial for improving energy efficiency.
Benedikt Kölsch, Johannes Pernpeintner, Björn Schiricke, Eckhard Lüpfert
As part of the mandated standards for estimating the energy performance of buildings CEN 16798-1 and -2 was developed to provide input for the indoor environment (thermal comfort, air quality/ventilation, lighting, acoustic) to energy calculations

Ventilation and air cleaning of interior spaces are promising methods for the reduction of airborne pathogen spread and may reduce the number of (airborne) infections.
Roberto Traversari, Charlotte Lelieveld, Menno Hinkema, Norman Egter van Wissekerke, Regien Kroeze, Adam Bufacchi
ASHRAE’s 2022 publication of a new position document on indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) has been a significant contribution to ongoing discussions of how indoor CO2 can be used to understand ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ).
Andrew Persily
The Airborne Infection Reduction through Building Operation and Design for SARS-CoV-2 (AIRBODS ) project aim is to deliver guidance on the ventilation operation and future design of non-domestic buildings and to quantify the risk of, and reduce th
Benjamin Jones
There is large amount of research on COVID-19 infections including the spread and removal mechanisms of the virus in indoor spaces.
Jarek Kurnitski
Air cleaning has been considered an alternative method of improving indoor air quality and, in some cases, as a supplement to ventilation.
Pawel Wargocki
