The AIVC holds a conference each year in September/October in one of the AIVC participating countries.
Since 1980, these annual conferences have been the international meeting point for presenting and discussing major developments and results regarding infiltration and ventilation in buildings.

Ventilative cooling–i.e., the use of natural or mechanical ventilation strategies to cool indoor spaces –can be very effective to reduce the cooling energy demand in buildings in summer or mid-season conditions.
Ventilative cooling—i.e., the use of natural or mechanical ventilation strategies to cool indoor spaces—can be very effective to reduce the cooling energy demand in buildings in summer or mid-season conditions. This webinar was part of a broader series focusing on ventilative cooling in energy performance, within the context of compliance with building regulations in several countries.
The QUALICHeCK-TightVent webinar: "Building airtightness and initiatives to improve the quality of the works" was held on Tuesday 12 January, 10:00-11:30 (Brussels time). The objective of this webinar was to give background information on selected initiatives to improve the quality of the works with respect to building airtightness.
Building airtightness is a critical factor for Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings and represents a key challenge for the building sector.
The objective of this webinar was to give background information on selected initiatives to improve the quality of the works with respect to building airtightness.
The 2nd QUALICHeCK Workshop will take place in Athens, Greece, on 9-10 March 2016, and will focus on sustainable summer comfort technologies. Within the context of compliance and quality, topics to be covered include solar control, developments in cooling technologies and potential for advanced cooling, status on ventilative cooling, cool roofs and more.
Addressing the increased potential for cooling energy demand and associated risk of overheating in new and refurbished low energy buildings is becoming an important issue for the industry.
