VIP 45.5: Trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Latvia

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #45.5 summarizes current knowledge on trends in building and ductwork airtightness in Latvia.

 

VIP 44: Residential Cooker Hoods

AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #44: Residential Cooker Hoods,  summarizes current knowledge on cooking contaminant emissions, its effects on IAQ, and identifies standards for assessing the efficacy of cooker hood (also known as a range hood) performance.

VIP 41: Impact of wind on the airtightness test results

Building airtightness tests have become very common in several countries, either to comply with minimum requirements of regulations or programmes, or to justify input values in calculation methods. With more widespread use it has become increasingly important to understand and quantify the reliability of these tests.

Bibliographic database Airbase

AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains abstracts of articles and publications related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include

Newsletters

Since 2011, the AIVC publishes twice a year a 4-page newsletter. In between 2 issues of the AIVC newsletter the venticool and TightVent are published. In practice, you receive a newsletter on average bi monthly  dealing with ventilation, airtightness and ventilative cooling. These newsletters aim to keep you informed on the progress of the various projects as well as to learn about initiatives (publications, events, etc.) of interest.

New release! AIVC Contributed Report 19

We are now pleased to announce the release of AIVC's Contributed Report o19: Indoor Air Quality Design and Control in Low-Energy Residential Buildings - EBC Annex 68 | Subtask 4: Current challenges, selected case studies and innovative solutions covering indoor air quality, ventilation design and control in residences!

CR19: Indoor Air Quality Design and Control in Low-Energy Residential Buildings - EBC Annex 68 | Subtask 4: Current challenges, selected case studies and innovative solutions covering indoor air quality, ventilation design and control in residences

The objective of Subtask 4 in the IEA EBC Annec 68 was to integrate knowledge and results from remaining Subtasks and present them in the context with current knowledge. The focus of the Subtask 4 was on practitioners dealing with ensuring high Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in modern low-energy residences, the demands and challenges they meet during daily work. This especially includes architects and ventilation designers, facility managers, property developers and employees of public authorities. This publication is a result of Subtask 4’s work.
