Ventilative cooling is the use of natural or mechanical ventilation strategies to cool indoor spaces. It can significantly reduce the cooling energy demand in summer or mid-season conditions. Therefore, ventilative cooling is increasingly common in NZEBs.

This BUILD UP Web Seminar addressed the following:

• Challenges for ventilative cooling in the context of NZEB - the venticool platform;
• Potential energy savings and the new IEA EBC Annex 62 on ventilative cooling; and
• Case studies - demonstrated high level summer comfort in real buildings.
