Article 19a of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires the European Commission to conduct a feasibility study on the possible introduction of the inspection of stand-alone ventilation systems and an optional building renovation passport. In this scope, a technical study has been contracted to a consortium formed by INIVE and BPIE who, together with a broad range of experts in the required fields, provide technical support to the Directorate-General for Energy of the European Commission.

TightVent Europe and AIVC are organizing the webinar “Ductwork airtightness measurements: protocols” to be held on Thursday 25 April 2019 at 10:00-11:30 (CET). The objective of this webinar is to present existing European standards & protocols for ductwork airtightness tests and compare the different approaches.
