In recent years ventilation system design has seen a shift from design methods based on prescribed flow rates and standard lay outs, towards performance-based approaches which offer opportunities for smart ventilation concepts by considering what ventilation should achieve in terms of indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

This webinar aimed to inform architects, engineers, building professionals and researchers on new developments in design and characterization of energy-efficient ventilation systems for dwellings. What new indicators and assessment methods have been developed in the research community? How can performance-based methods help to develop ventilation solutions for specific applications such as renovation of existing dwellings? Which new solutions and tools have been introduced by the ventilation industry to assist and inform designers?

This webinar was organised with the support of the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) and facilitated by INIVE.
