The final programme for the joint 40^th AIVC, 8^th TightVent & 6^th venticool conference “From Energy crisis to sustainable indoor climate – 40 years of AIVC” to be held on October 15-16, 2019 in Ghent, Belgium is now available.

There will be a total of 13 topical sessions:

1. 40 years of AIVC
2. Bedroom ventilation, IAQ and sleep
3. Better implementation of ventilative cooling (cooling of buildings using outside air as main source) in national (building) standards, legislation and compliance tools
4. Controlling moisture for improved IAQ
5. EPBD 2018/844/EU Article 19a feasibility study on the “inspection of stand-alone ventilation systems”
6. Ventilation design and control in residences – current challenges, innovative solutions and case studies gathered by IEA-EBC Annex 68
7. EBC Annex 78 – Supplementing Ventilation with Gas-phase Air Cleaning, Implementation and Energy Implications
8. EBC Annex 80 – Resilient Cooling
9. Integrating uncertainties due to wind and stack effect in declared airtightness results
10. Model based control and concepts for ventilation systems
11. Performance-based assessment methods for ventilation systems
12. IEA EBC Annex 79: What information do we need for occupant-centric building design and operation?
13. When the EPR hits the fan, or…the killing of the fan energy
