The latest issue of the International Energy Agency's Energy in Buildings and Communities (IEA-EBC) Programme newsletter has been released. The June 2019 edition features articles on: Building Energy Futures for Belgium; A New EBC Strategy to Tackle a Growing Challenge; LowEx Communities - Optimised Performance of Energy Supply Systems with Exergy Principles; Energy Flexible Buildings; HVAC Energy Calculations in Building Codes; and New EBC International Projects.
Registration is still open for the 40th AIVC conference: “From Energy crisis to sustainable indoor climate – 40 years of AIVC" to be held on October 15-16, 2019 in Ghent, Belgium together with the 8th TightVent and the 6th venticool conferences.
More than 100 papers have been accepted for presentation at the conference.
In addition, the following topical sessions are confirmed (more information is available on the website):
The symposium "Activities of IEA TCP on Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC TCP)", organised by Dutch Flemish Buildings Physics Association (NVBV) and the Belgian Building Research Institute (WTCB-CSTC-BBRI), took place on the 11th of June 2019 in Brussels, Belgium from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. . During this event activities of various Technical Collaboration Programmes (TCP) of the International Energy Agency were presented with a focus on the energy reduction in the built environment and the reduction of CO2- emissions.
The annual report of 2018 of the International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities (IEA-EBC) Programme has just been released. This report presents an overview of progress made by the EBC Programme, including summaries of new, ongoing and recently completed projects. More specifically, contents include:
AIVC organized the webinar “New Perspectives on Kitchen Ventilation” held on Thursday 23 May 2019 at 16:00-17:30 (CET). The webinar discussed kitchen venting, including measurements of contaminants that are emitted from cooking, discussions of kitchen exhaust ventilation system performance and guidance on best practices for kitchen ventilation.
The recordings and the slides of our recent webinar: “Ductwork airtightness measurements: protocols” held on 25 April 2019 and organised in cooperation with TightVent Europe and the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre, are now available online here.
The Proceedings of the 39th AIVC - 7th TightVent & 5th venticool Conference "Smart Ventilation for Buildings", held in Antibes Juan-Les-Pins, France on 18-19 September, 2018 are now available for download.

The presentations of the AIVC workshop "Quality ventilation is the key to achieving low energy healthy buildings" organized by the AIVC together with the SEAI and held on 27-28 March 2019 in Dublin, Ireland are now available for download.
This 2 day workshop provided a wealth of insights from experiences both nationally and internationally. It informed approach on ventilation as a key component of delivering both new buildings and deep retrofit low energy buildings.
