The 38^th AIVC conference "Ventilating healthy low-energy buildings" was held on 13 & 14 September 2017 in Nottingham together with the 6^th TightVent conference and the 4^th venticool conference. There were 185 participants.

The conference consisted of 3 parallel tracks largely devoted to:

• ventilative cooling;
• airtightness issues;
• ventilation in relation to IAQ and health.

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 an initiative from INIVE on behalf of the AIVC, TightVent Europe and venticool in collaboration with Brunel University London, the University of Nottingham & the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE).
