AIVC Technical Note 70 - 40 years to build tight and ventilate right:From infiltration to smart ventilation
The AIVC was created in 1979 and started having annual conferences in 1980. The 2019 Conference was its 40th conference and the conference theme focused on its anniversary. This Technical Note is a compendium of the contributions that the AIVC has made in its first 40 years and reflects field’s evolution over time. Much of the information generated by the AIVC is of direct use today and some of the older material is good source material for future research. The AIVC is an information dissemination project created by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as a result of a need to understand the energy impacts from air leakage in buildings for the energy crisis of the 1970s. When the Center was first created it was called the Air Infiltration Center because the focus was on energy loss due to infiltration. It was generally thought that most buildings leaked way too much air and that reducing that infiltration would reduce dependence of fossil fuels. The mechanism the IEA uses to create projects is through implementing agreements of member nations. The AIC was the 5th project (or “annex”) created by the implementing agreement on buildings and community systems, which has been renamed Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) at https://www.iea-ebc.org/. There have been 70 projects completed from EBC and 17 that are on-going currently. Of those, Annex V is the only information dissemination center and the only one that is active for more than a few years. Because infiltration research was not a field of its own in the 70s, the AIC became the de-facto coordinating body for infiltration-related research around the world. It was sometimes difficult to understand each other, hence we started a series of TN named AIRGLOSS [36] in which terms and definitions were described. When investigating a new area, the first thing one must do is be able to measure it. A significant effort was put into measurement techniques both for air change rate and for air tightness. The research community is much broader now, but these are still ...
