Register for Key AIVC Resources Access Technical Summaries Now Addressing Indoor Air Quality in High-Performance Buildings AIVC TN68 Modern energy efficiency measures often increase building airtightness, making effective residential ventilation critical for managing indoor air quality. Poor IAQ poses significant health impacts, driven by pollutants like particulate matter (PM2.5), Radon, VOCs (e.g., Formaldehyde), and NO2, often exceeding outdoor levels. Understanding these complex interactions is vital for building performance, occupant well-being, and developing evidence-based ventilation standards and public health policies. AIVC provides resources to navigate these challenges. Access the evidence base & pollutant mitigation strategies AIVC TN68

AIVC Technical Note 68

TN68: A Foundational Resource & Expert Collaboration on Ventilation & Health

AIVC Technical Note 68 (AIVC TN68) represents a landmark international collaboration, synthesizing evidence on residential ventilation and health. Edited by leading experts including Wouter Borsboom (TNO), Willem De Gids (VentGuide), Jennifer Logue & Max Sherman (LBNL), and Pawel Wargocki (DTU), TN68 introduced a crucial 'harm-based approach' for pollutant prioritization. This work significantly influences international ventilation standards (e.g., ASHRAE 62.2, EPBD) and provides a cornerstone for research and policy.

The official AIVC summary, VIP43, authored by Dr. Marie Coggins (NUI Galway) and Simon Jones (Air Quality Matters), offers accessible key findings.
