IAQ

The recordings and the slides of the AIVC & ASHRAE Webinar: "Sleeping Environment IAQ and Sleep Quality" are now available online here.

The full collection of past events’ recordings and slides can be found here.

On December 7, 2022 ASHRAE’s board of directors announced its commitment to support the expedited development of a national indoor air quality (IAQ) pathogen mitigation standard. The goal is to finalize the consensus-based, code enforceable standard within six months.

The AIVC is inviting you to register for the webinar "Sleeping Environment IAQ and Sleep Quality" to be held on January 12^th, 2023 (10:00 - 11:30 CET).  Participation is free for all, but prior registration is required.

Programme (CET)

In March 2022, ASHRAE released a position document discussing the role of indoor CO₂ in the context of building ventilation and IAQ. The positions address the use of CO₂ as a metric of IAQ and ventilation, the impacts of CO₂ on building occupants, the measurement of CO₂ concentrations, the use of CO₂ to evaluate and control outdoor air ventilation, and the relationship of indoor CO₂ to airborne infectious disease transmission.

We are happy to announce the release of AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper no 44: Residential cooker hoods. This paper summarizes current knowledge on cooking contaminant emissions, its effects on IAQ, and identifies standards for assessing the efficacy of cooker hood (also known as a range hood) performance.

The paper is freely accessible. Please click here to download and read the document. 

The Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre and the IEA EBC Annex 86 “Energy Efficient Indoor Air Quality Management in Residential Buildings” (https://annex86.iea-ebc.org/) are organizing the webinar "Smart materials for energy efficient IAQ management" to be held on October 12^th, 2021 at 14:00-15:45 CET.

Indoor Environments is a video show & podcast dedicated to featuring important research that can enhance how we manage our built indoor spaces, hosted by Bob Krell and Donald Weekes. The International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ) and the Indoor Environmental Quality Global Alliance (IEQ-GA) have partnered to create this unique show.

Season-1/Episode-3, with Charles Weschler and Glenn Morrison, looks at how occupants themselves affect our indoor environments.

Because of COVID-19 uncertainty of conditions to hold a face-to-face conference in Athens in September 2021, ASHRAE and AIVC decided to postpone the conference and reschedule it for May 4-6, 2022. There will not be a new call for abstracts for the rescheduled conference dates.

The recordings and the slides of the recent AIVC & EBC Annex 86 Webinars “Big data, IAQ and ventilation” held on April 13^th & April 21^st, 2021, are now available online at: https://www.aivc.org/event/13-april-2021-webinar-big-data-iaq-and-ventilation-part-1 and https://www.aivc.org/event/21-apri
