The Presentations at the 38th AIVC Conference "Ventilating healthy low-energy buildings", held in Nottingham, UK, 13-14 September 2017.

The trend to increasingly complex ventilation controls (particularly for residences) is leading to many new possibilities related to IAQ and energy optimization.

Overheating in buildings has been identified as an essential cause of several problems ranging from thermal discomfort and productivity reduction to illness and death.

In a recent review of 31 green building certification schemes used around the world, IAQ was found to contribute to only 7.5% of the final score on average.

This Ventilation Information Paper analyses both the policy instruments used (regulatory requirements and incentives, specific programme requirements, quality frameworks for testers and builders) a

Because buildings are responsible for 40% of energy use and 36% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the EU, energy efficiency in buildings has become a priority to drastically reduce the energy us

Leakages in the building envelope may cause severe damage to a building and thus inevitably become an issue not only for building physics, but also for the law. In the case of such legal disputes, the different perspectives of scientists and lawyers frequently turn out to be a problem. This is further acerbated by the different levels of...

Part of the research project “Evaluation of leakages in airtight layers – Recommendations for action for construction professionals”, was visiting an object, where air leakages in the roof construction were identified as the cause for moisture damage in the roof structure. The latter was not back-ventilated and was characterized...
