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.
The SmartBuilt4EU project organized a workshop about Innovations to upgrade the smartness of the building at Sustainable Places Conference this year with the participation of the SB4EU partners, CINEA on behalf of the European Commission and several EU-funded projects. The workshop hosted presentations from the several EU-supported Innovation projects where the project representatives pitched the value proposition of their expected smart buildings innovations, associated impacts and lessons learnt.

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.
This certified Passive House multi family dwelling in Zaragoza (Spain) has been built taking in particular consideration the occupants´ comfort, such as indoor air quality (IAQ) and acoustics, and ecological aspects, such as aerothermal energy connected to clean renewable electricity and not gas supply. This allows savings in fixed costs, taxes and maintenance.
The City of Feuchtwangen in Bavaria, Germany developed a teaching and research campus for energy-related studies within the Faculty of Applied Engineering Sciences at the Ansbach University of Applied Sciences. The so-called research hall was the first building of the campus to be constructed and has been in use for research and teaching purposes since February 2018. The building offers space for a wide variety of experimental setups, e.g. in the field of innovative heat generation systems. It was built conformant with the Efficiency House Plus standard.
This case study of residential buildings represents the first residential building in the world with an intelligent and consistent combination of photovoltaics, battery storage, synthetic e-gas/biogas and intelligent energy management (hybrid box). It has also received a recognition at Energy & Temperate Climates Prize of the Green Solutions Awards 2020-21.
How increasing the quality of Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) schemes can accelerate deep renovation of buildings? Join the final conference of QualDeEPC to discover the new template, tools developed and policy recommendations.
A major retrofit intervention has allowed to transform an 1960 leisure centre building into a A-rated building with Nearly-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) status. Innovative energy systems and materials have improved efficiency, lowered costs and reduce the building´s footprint.
As part of the EUSEW Policy Conference, the session will demonstrate the various elements needed to successfully implement the Zero-Emission Building concept across the various climate zones of Europe, bringing together the perspectives of the EU institutions with the Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) designers, manufacturers and installers and building professionals representing the whole value chain of efficient and renewable HVAC technologies from design to operation and maintenance.
