We are happy to announce the release of AIVC's Technical note #70: 40 years to build tight and ventilate right: From infiltration to smart ventilation!
As the AIVC was created in 1979, the 40th anniversary of the AIVC was celebrated in October 2019 at the 40th AIVC conference in Ghent. In the context of this celebration, it was decided to publish 2 overview publications:
The recordings and the slides of the recent EBC Webinar "Innovation and Energy Policy for Buildings: International Collaboration to Accelerate Change" are now available online here.
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.
