The IEA Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) programme is organizing the webinar "Reducing the Performance Gap between Design Intent and Real Operation" to be held on Friday June 11^th, 2021 at 14:00-16:30 CET.

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.

Presentations & Speakers

As already announced in the November issue of the AIVC newsletter, the AIVC board decided to start a project to collect, discuss and disseminate information about COVID‐19 in relation to ventilation and airtightness. A working group was created to define the activities and outputs of the project with the title ‘Ventilation, airtightness and COVID‐19’.
