In the context of energy use reduction, low energy buildings are becoming more widespread. This kind of construction requires a good envelope airtightness to prevent uncontrolled leakages of conditioned air leading to energy losses. As a result, more and more ventilation systems are installed to ensure a sufficient air change rate, to guarantee good indoor air quality and building durability while controlling energy losses.

However, in practice, many issues are reported with installed ventilation systems not providing the expected flowrates or leading to discomfort (noise, draught, etc.). Therefore, in more and more countries new energy performance regulations now impose the inspection of ventilation systems at commissioning.

The objective of this webinar is to present those new requirements in Ireland, Germany and France.

This webinar is organized by the AIVC & TightVent Europe. The webinar is facilitated by INIVE.
