Conferences

Organized every 2 years, during years with no Indoor Air conference, Healthy Buildings conferences bridge the gap between science and profession, making it one of the most influential conferences on best-practice sustainable solutions for the indoor environment.

The 11^th International BUILDAIR Symposium “Airtight Buildings, Thermography and Ventilation Systems in Practice” will be held on May 24-25, 2019 in Hannover Germany.

The symposium "Activities of IEA TCP on Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC TCP)" took place on the 11^th of June 2019 in Brussels, Belgium from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. . During this event activities of various Technical Collaboration Programmes (TCP) of the International Energy Agency were presented with a focus on the energy reduction in the built environment and the reduction of CO₂- emissions.

The 40^th AIVC conference  was held on 15 and 16 October 2019 in Ghent, Belgium. It was also the 8^th TightVent conference and the 6^th venticool conference.

Conference Scope

In the past 40 years, since the first oil crisis in the seventies, energy and climate goals have been shaping many countries´ policy and legislative agendas. The building sector plays a crucial role in achieving these goals, considering the energy use attributed to buildings and its huge potential for improved energy performance.

The market uptake of BIM (Building Information Modelling) is rapidly growing in nearly all European countries and one can assume that this trend will continue and even accelerate in the coming years.
In practice, there was until recently in most countries little to no attention for BIM as a support tool for the regulatory assessment of the energy performance of buildings. A smart use of BIM can be a win-win situation for both areas, whereby there surely are still several bottlenecks and challenges ahead of us.

The REHVA Brussels Summit will launch a new sequence of REHVA meetings offering an intense 2-days event with a new concept and a revamped visual design.

RoomVent and Ventilation joint Conferences will provide an overview of the latest research findings on ventilation in both industrial and non-industrial premises.

The tenth International BUILDAIR Symposium “Airtight Buildings, Thermography and Ventilation Systems in Practice”, was intended for all measuring teams, energy consultants, planners, and architects. Experts presented their expertise and shared their experience. The symposium promoted mutual exchange and cooperation across national borders in order to facilitate buildings’ energy efficiency. The parallel exhibition presented products and technologies regarding building airtightness, ventilation and thermal imaging.

This joint conference provided a unique opportunity for dialogue among attendees to facilitate understanding of current indoor air quality policies, standards and best practices with themes such as regulatory vs. voluntary compliance for achieving Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), the role of IAQ in sustainable building programmes and the relationship between IAQ and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), etc.

The 14th international conference of indoor air quality and climate -Indoor Air 2016 will bring together the whole indoor air and climate community. The technical programme will be fostering multi-disciplinary collaboration, workshops, interactive poster sessions, short courses and social media discussions. It covers all research related to indoor air quality and climate: from health effects and epidemiology to source and airflow fundamentals over every possible effect that modifies both and the exposure in between.
