Worldwide, there is an increasing number of publications related to air cleaning and sales of gas phase air cleaning products.
Building airtightness tests have become very common in several countries, either to comply with minimum requirements of regulations or programmes, or to justify input values in calculation methods.
Ventilation Information Paper no40 "Ductwork airtightness - A review", aims to complement Ventilation Information Paper VIP 01 “Airtightness

Ventilation Information Paper no39: “A review of performance-based approaches to residential smart ventilation” provides an overview of the regulations and standards proposing “performance-based approaches” in five countries to promote the use of
In March 2017, AIVC identified smart ventilation for buildings as a new and important topic to be addressed.
This Ventilation Information Paper analyses both the policy instruments used (regulatory requirements and incentives, specific programme requirements, quality frameworks for testers and builders) and the changes observed in practice in terms of bu
In a recent review of 31 green building certification schemes used around the world, IAQ was found to contribute to only 7.5% of the final score on average.
This report summarises the outcome of the work of the initial working phase of IEA ECB Annex 62 Ventilative Cooling and is based on the findings in the participating countries.
Air supplied by ventilation plants and air conditioning systems carries small particles whose size depends on filtration device efficiency.
VIP 33: CO2 as indicator for the indoor air quality - General principles | 2010 | English, French | 4 pp
The role of CO2 to control the indoor air quality in buildings is based on the fact that CO2 developed by people breathing may be used as a marker for the bio-effluents produced by people.
For the near future the expectation of experts is that the most promising systems will be based on demand-controlled hybrid ventilation technologies.
VIP 31: Humidity Controlled Exhaust Ventilation in Moderate Climate | 2009 | English, French | 12 pp
Born with the energetic crisis, humidity controlled ventilation has been introduced in regions with a moderate climate as a means to fight condensation problems induced by tighter building construction and lower heating temperatures.
