“Ventilative cooling for buildings may lead to cooling energy savings and improvements in thermal comfort, especially in seasonally temperate and warm climates. But, codes and regulations need to better quantify its benefits”, says professor Per Heiselberg, operating agent of IEA EBC annex 62 in his article “The state-of-the-art for ventilative cooling” included in the latest issue of IEA EBC news.

The November-2016 newsletter also features information on annex 63 “Implementation of energy strategies in communities”, annex 64 “Optimised performance of energy supply systems” , annex 66 “Occupant behaviour modelling tools” and an article on how benchmarking benefits Australia’s buildings.
