IEQ and energy performance of residential smart ventilation strategies in France

Smart-ventilation with airflows adapting to the need of buildings reduces energy consumptions and can improve IAQ. In some countries, smart ventilation strategies have been widely used for a long term (like Belgium, France,…). We still need to quantify IAQ and energy benefits of smart ventilation through a common internationally validated performance assessment scheme, still under development, notably in the framework of the IEA-EBC Annex 86. The SmartAIR French project focuses on the adaptation of the tools developed in the framework of the Annex 86 project and test their relevance in the context of the generalization of humidify-based ventilation and the innovation towards new ventilation systems.
