AIVC project: "Smart Ventilation"

The trend to increasingly complex ventilation controls (particularly for residences) is leading to many new possibilities related to IAQ and energy optimization. This project is needed to ensure that ventilation systems claiming to be “smart” meet appropriate performance requirements and to provide technical information for system designers, ventilation codes and standards and researchers. 

The objectives of this project are to:

• Review technical information to develop consensus for standardization purposes

• Develop consensus on what constitutes smart ventilation
