The 29th AIVC Conference, Advanced building ventilation and environmental technology for addressing climate change issues, was held in Kyoto, Japan, 14-16 October 2008.

The main purpose of this workshop was to present and discuss the evolutions in the national regulations related to summer comfort and cooling:

The 30th AIVC Conference, Trends in High Performance Buildings and the Role of Ventilation, was held in Berlin, Germany, 1-2 October 2009 together with the “4th International Symposium on Building and Ductwork Airtightness” .

The aims of the workshop: 

It is expected that many countries will between 2015 and 2020 have regulations imposing requirements for new buildings which are near-zero energy targets. This has major consequences:

The workshop will highlight the Status, Classical approaches and New concepts covering areas where intelligent analysis techniques can be used for the following topics: 

The 31st AIVC Conference - Low Energy and Sustainable Ventilation Technologies for Green Buildings, was held in Seoul, Korea, 26-28 October 2010.

Ambitious targets on transforming the building stock into a highly energy efficient and low carbon environment demand also very performing scientific tools for the evaluation of the energy performance of improved building envelopes and construction techniques. Full scale testing becomes –again- more relevant, in combination with dynamic analysis and numerical simulation tools.
