This IEA-EBC Annex 87 & AIVC webinar "Energy and Indoor Environmental Quality Performance of Personalised Environmental Control Systems (PECS)" aims to present the new IEA-EBC Annex 87 on Personalized Environmental Control Systems.
This IEA EBC Annex 78 & AIVC webinar "Substituting Ventilation by Gas Phase Air Cleaning. An Industry webinar" aims to develop appropriate standard test methods to verify the performance of gas phase air cleaning technologies, which will be covered by presentations and discussion in this webinar.

This AIVC/venticool & UNSW webinar "Use of Super Cool Materials for Efficient Building Ventilation and Heat Mitigation" aims to inform designers, engineers, architects, researchers and building professional on the potential of super cool materials, their potential use for ventilation and mitigation purposes, and the future implementation path to be followed.
Worldwide, there is an increasing number of publications related to air cleaning and there is an increasing sale of gas phase air cleaning products. This puts a demand for verifying the influence of using air cleaning on indoor air quality, comfort, well-being and health. It is thus important to learn whether air cleaning can supplement ventilation with respect to improving air quality i.e. whether it can partly substitute the ventilation rates required by standards. There is also a need to evaluate the energy impact of using air cleaning as supplement to ventilation.

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.2: Trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Spain summarizes current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Spain.

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.1: Trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Estonia, summarizes current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Estonia.
This Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) webinar wants to link building performance to human wellbeing. We will introduce you into cognitive buildings, let you rethink comfort and show how you can include user satisfaction.

This report presents a comprehensive review of studies that deal with building airtightness durability.

The AIVC (Air infiltration and Ventilation Centre) is the International Energy Agency’s information centre on energy efficient ventilation. In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of its creation, 2 overview publications were published presenting the history and main target of the organisation.
