The 44th AIVC conference "Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality" was held on 9 & 10 October 2024 in Dublin together with the 12th TightVent conference and the 10th venticool conference. There were 180 participants from 26 countries.
The conference consisted of parallel sessions largely devoted to:
- Smart ventilation, Indoor Air Quality and health
- Building and ductwork airtightness
- Ventilative cooling – Resilient cooling
The conference consisted of a mixture of presentations from the call for papers and presentations upon invitation, organized in well prepared and structured sessions focused on the conference theme and topics. Some sessions consisted of presentations from the call for papers only, other sessions were topical sessions with presentations proposed by a session organizer and by the organizing committee. The conference was combined with an exhibition by industry partners.
The conference was an initiative from INIVE on behalf of the AIVC, TightVent Europe and venticool in collaboration with the University of Galway, Maynooth University; and the Sustainable Energy Authority Of Ireland (SEAI).
