Much progress has been made to improve the airtightness level of new buildings. Still, little is known about the durability of building airtightness, or the impact of degradation on airtightness. This report presents a comprehensive review of studies that deal with building airtightness durability. Regarding field measurement studies, the envelope airtightness seems to decrease during the first years after achievement and then stabilize. However, these variations are rarely explained. Key elements that may drive airtightness variations were identified.

Exposures in homes constitute the major part of exposures to airborne pollutants experienced through the human lifetime. They can constitute from 60 to 95% of our total lifetime exposures, of which 30% occurs when we sleep.
We're excited to announce that the recordings and presentation slides from the AIVC webinar "New developments in design and characterisation of energy-efficient ventilation systems", which took place on June 20, 2024, are now accessible online here.
This paper is part of the new VIP series being developed and dealing with trends in building ventilation requirements and inspection in various countries.
The AIVC 2024 workshop “Ventilation, IEQ & Sustainability" organised in collaboration with ASHRAE Singapore Chapter was held on 18-19 April 2024 in Singapore. Participation was possible in person and the event drew over 160 participants - researchers, engineers & architects and industry representatives. The programme included 21 presentations grouped into 3 sessions: “Optimising Indoor Air Quality for Climate Resilience”, “Reducing Carbon Footprints: The Role of Energy efficient Ventilation Technologies” & “Smart Building Automation for Climate-Adaptive Ventilation”.
We're excited to announce that the recordings and presentation slides from the AIVC & venticool webinar "Exploring window opening behaviour for optimal cooling and thermal comfort", which took place on March 26, 2024, are now accessible online here.
