smart ventilation

The 46^th AIVC conference "Innovations in Smart Ventilation and IEQ for Resilient and Adaptive Buildings" will take place on September 30 & October 1, 2026 at the Songdo International District in Incheon, Republic of Korea. This international event will be held jointly with the 14^th TightVent Conference and the 12^th venticool Conference.

We are pleased to announce the release of AIVC Technical Note #74: Smart Ventilation in Residential Buildings—a comprehensive review aimed at summarizing the available evidence on the benefits of implementing smart ventilation solutions in homes.

This publication focuses on ventilation strategies and their effectiveness, which consists of IAQ benefits, non-IAQ benefits (such as thermal comfort and noise), minimizing energy consumption and minimizing utility bills, and other advantages related to indoor environmental quality (IEQ).

On 9-10 October 2024, the AIVC – TightVent - venticool 2024 joint Conference "Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality", was organised by the International Network on Ventilation and Energy Performance (INIVE) on behalf of the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC), the Building and Ductwork Airtightness Platform (TightVent Europe) and the international platform for ventilative cooling (

We are happy to inform you that the recordings and slides of the AIVC webinar; "Smart ventilation in non-residential buildings. How to assess? How to design?" held on 12 December, 2023 are now available online here.

The AIVC is inviting you to register for the upcoming webinar "Smart ventilation in non-residential buildings. How to assess? How to design?" to be held on December 12^th, 2023 (15:00 - 16:30 CET). Participation is free for all, but prior registration is required.
