The 46^th AIVC conference “Innovations in Smart Ventilation and IEQ for Resilient and Adaptive Buildings” will take place on September 30 & October 1, 2026 at the Songdo International District in Incheon, Republic of Korea. This international event will be held jointly with the 12^th venticool Conference and the 14^th TightVent Conference.

The conference is organized by INIVE on behalf of the AIVC, TightVent Europe and venticool in collaboration with the Korean Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) and the Korean Institute of Architectural Sustainable Environment and Building Systems (KIAEBS).

The conference will feature a mixture of presentations selected from the call for papers & topical sessions as well as invited contributions, all organized into well-prepared and structured sessions aligned with the conference theme and topics. In addition, the event will include an exhibition from industry, offering attendees the opportunity to engage with leading partners showcasing innovative solutions and technologies.
