We are pleased to announce that the AIVC 2024 Conference “Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality" is now accepting abstracts & proposals for topical sessions. The Conference will be held on October 9-10, 2024, at Croke Park, Dublin, Ireland. It will be a joint event combined with the 12th TightVent and the 10th venticool conferences.

The recordings and the slides of the recent venticool/AIVC & Annex 80 Webinar "Indicators to Assess Resilience of Cooling in Buildings" are now available online at: https://www.aivc.org/event/10-may-2022-webinar-indicators-assess-resilience-cooling-buildings

Well-insulated and air-tight buildings are known to be vulnerable to overheating. An increase in the severity and duration of heatwaves is expected, resulting in more severe overheating risks, affecting in turn the health and mortality of building users. To achieve more future-proof buildings, it is crucial to design buildings that are “resilient” to overheating in future climate conditions.
