The 3rd QUALICHeCK Conference wil take place in Brussels, Belgium, on 10-11 May 2016. The conference will cover, among others:

The 12th REHVA World Congress CLIMA 2016 will focus on building and Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system performance in practice in relation to fulfillment of the intended design, ability to fulfill the needs of the occupants, interaction with the users in daily practice and role in the smart energy system.

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.

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.

IAQVEC 2016- 9th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation and Energy Conservation in Buildings, will be held in Seoul, Korea on October 23-26, 2016.

Over the years, different approaches and indices have been used to define indoor air quality. The most frequently used, recognised by the public, and equated with indoor air quality are, of course, ventilation rate and concentration of carbon dioxide. Other approaches define the levels of dissatisfaction with acceptability of indoor air quality, as expressed by the building occupants.

Indoor exposure to contaminants should be minimized to avoid adverse health and comfort effects. Experience shows that this qualitative statement is difficult to translate into measurable terms, such as performance indicators or metrics, which can be used as a basis for defining and assessing requirements in regulations and standards while holistically reflecting indoor air quality.

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.
