venticool Newsletter, January 2016

To our pleasure, 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. Several annex participants gave significant contributions to activities run in collaboration with venticool such as the new webinar series on ventilative cooling in Energy Performance (EP) regulations or the 2nd QUALICHeCK Workshop to be held in March 2016. Finally, venticool's overview paper on 8 European countries as well as our feedback to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) review benefited from valuable input of several Annex 62 researchers. We are also very happy to announce that the CIBSE Natural Ventilation Group has now joined venticool as associate partner. We hope this newsletter will give you a good overview of our collaborations, achievements and future work.
