Presentations & Speakers

As already announced in the November issue of the AIVC newsletter, the AIVC board decided to start a project to collect, discuss and disseminate information about COVID‐19 in relation to ventilation and airtightness. A working group was created to define the activities and outputs of the project with the title ‘Ventilation, airtightness and COVID‐19’.
