The AIVC is organising the webinar: "IAQ sensors for smart ventilation of buildings" to be held on Tuesday 6 March 2018, 15:00-16:30 (Brussels time, CET).

The objective of this AIVC webinar is:

• to show an overview of the available low cost sensors for indoor air measurements (particulates, VOCs, CO2);
• to present results of two recent laboratory and on site evaluations of some sensors;
• to assess their applicability to ventilation system control.

Presentations and speakers:

Mark your calendars for the upcoming webinar on IAQ sensors for smart ventilation of buildings on 6 March 2018 at 15:00-16:30 (CET).

Presentations and speakers include:

• Evaluating particulate sensors for IAQ controls, Iain Walker (LBNL, USA)
• Assessment of particulates and VOCs low-cost sensors, Laure Mouradian (CETIAT, France)

Registration will open soon so stay tuned!

The recordings and the slides of our recent webinar: “Ductwork airtightness: Standardisation’s on- going work and an overview of status and trends in Sweden, Japan, Spain and Portugal” organised in cooperation with TightVent Europe and the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre, are now available online here. Check them out!

The AIVC in cooperation with ASHRAE and BRANZ are organizing a free 2-day workshop in Wellington, New Zealand. 

The objective of this AIVC workshop is to discuss and identify ways to improve the quality of our homes with respect to airtightness and ventilation, as well as discussing the impact suboptimal performance has on energy consumption and health of the occupants. Also of interest are the impacts of mandatory airtightness targets and how best to implement these, if at all.

Specific topics include:

The AIVC (Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre) and the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Low Carbon Living warmly invite you to participate in a free, one-day workshop Ventilation for Indoor Air Quality and Cooling in Sydney on Friday 23 March, 2018.

The workshop is presented in collaboration with the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating (AIRAH) and UNSW Built Environment.

The 39th AIVC conference "Smart ventilation for buildings" will be held on 18 and 19 September 2018 in Antibes Juan-Les-Pins, France, together with the 7th TightVent and the 5th venticool conferences. 

Abstract submission is now open.

Ductwork airtightness: Standardisation’s on- going work and an overview of status and trends in Sweden, Japan, Spain and Portugal

Thursday 25 January 2018, 09:00-10:30 (Brussels time, CET)

The objective of this webinar is:

The eleventh issue of the venticool newsletter (December, 2017) is now available for download.

Specific contents include:

The joint 38th AIVC, 6th TightVent and 4th venticool Conference on ‘Ventilating Healthy Low-energy Buildings' was held in Nottingham, UK, 13-14 September 2017. The programme consisted of plenary sessions and 3 parallel tracks, one devoted to Ventilative Cooling in four sessions (20 papers) and 17 papers in poster sessions. Two sessions were topical, proposed by IEA EBC Annex 62, plus one discussion session.  One topical session focused on case-studies [6, 18, 23-25] including houses, offices, a large space and shopping malls.

The airtightness track at the AIVC 2017 conference consisted of 23 presentations organised in 5 sessions of which 3 were topical sessions with a number of invited presentations. Most of the airtightness topics in the call for papers for the conference were represented in the papers in the airtightness track:
