IEA EBC Annex 62 continues to build on activities in synergy with venticool. As illustration, IEA EBC Annex 62 accomplished a major milestone last November with the publication of the state-of-the-art review on ventilative cooling, now available on the venticool website. The Annex results were intensively discussed during the 36th AIVC-3rd venticool joint conference.
On February 2, 2016, the BUILD UP portal for energy efficient buildings is holding an online webstreamed event to mark the launch of the improved website. Expert speakers will present the findings of the Concerted Action EPBD.
Around 160 participants attended the joint 36th AIVC – 5th TightVent – 3rd venticool conference held in Madrid, Spain September 23-24, 2015. The programme consisted of 3 parallel sessions with contributions from 27 countries and international organisations.
Over 120 presentations were given covering topics ranging from ventilative cooling and thermal comfort, ventilation in relation to IAQ and health, air infiltration through leaks in the building envelope and ductwork.
Looking 5 years behind, it is clear that significant progress has been made in several European countries with regard to building airtightness. On the other hand, this concern is still lagging behind in many regions and/or building sectors, although relevant in terms of energy savings and indoor environmental quality.
The QUALICHeCK webinar: "Building airtightness and initiatives to improve the quality of the works" will be held on Tuesday 12 January 2016, 10:00-11:30 (Brussels time). The objective of this webinar is to give background information on selected initiatives to improve the quality of the works with respect to building airtightness.
This webinar is part of a broader series focusing on ventilative cooling in energy performance, within the context of compliance with building regulations in several countries.

In November 2015, the Executive Committee of the International Energy Agency Energy in Buildings and Communities (IEA EBC) programme approved Annex 68 “Indoor Air quality Design and Control in Low Energy Residential Buildings” for a four years working and reporting phase. The project will be investigating how to ensure that future low energy buildings are able both to improve their energy performance and to provide comfortable and healthy indoor environments.
