Building Advanced Ventilation Technological
examples to demonstrate materialised energy savings for
acceptable indoor air quality and thermal comfort
in different European climatic regions

About the Project

The main objective of this project was to support a reduction in the energy required to deliver ventilation effectively in non-domestic buildings by capturing good ventilation practice and disseminating it widely.

The main outputs are based around 18 case studies of buildings that have been monitored for energy and air quality. These include contemporary examples of buildings constructed in the new Millennium.

The project had the following development objectives:

1. Classification of existing building ventilation technologies as applied in built examples and collection of additional information on building performance.

2. Identification of barriers for future application.

3. Preparing the case-studies in a common format together with training material.

Promotion objectives included seminars in professional conferences, incorporation of training material in university curricula and dissemination of case-studies to architects, engineers and ventilation professionals through UIA-ARES WP, REHVA and INIVE (dissemination partners) in addition to IEE programme common dissemination routes.
