| Dear visitor,
Welcome to this combined website of the venticool platform and of IEA EBC Annex 62 – Ventilative Cooling |
The May 2020 issue of the “Energy Efficiency and Indoor Climate in Buildings” newsletter has just been released. This monthly online newspaper contains relevant information on the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC), the building and ductwork airtightness platform (TightVent Europe), the international platform on ventilative cooling (venticool), the Indoor Environmental Quality – Global Alliance (IEQ-GA) & EU relevant information. The paper is available at the first week of every month at: http://news.inive.org/
We would like to encourage you to subscribe to get informed on a regular basis on our platforms’ activities.
The Air Infiltration & Ventilation Centre has just released AIVC Literature List 34 “Ventilative Cooling”.
The document is split into three main chapters including:
- papers & slides presented at AIVC & venticool annual conferences and publications produced during the operation of IEA-EBC annex 62;
- slides presented at workshops organized with the collaboration of venticool & IEA-EBC annex 62; and
- recordings from webinars organized with the collaboration venticool & IEA-EBC annex 62.
