In 2008, when the target period of the Kyoto Protocol begins, the 29th AIVC Conference will be held at Kyoto International
Conference Center,
Kyoto, Japan, where the protocol was
negotiated in December 1997. The
conference will provide a valuable best opportunity for researchers and
engineers worldwide to convene for Advanced building ventilation and
environmental technology for addressing climate change issues.
The increase of Carbon Dioxide due to energy use in buildings is a
common issue for most countries in the world. Above all, it is expected that
the energy use for indoor environmental control including ventilation, heating
and air-conditioning must be substantially reduced to mitigate the global warming
issue, while there are increasing demand for better indoor health and comfort. The
AIVC (Air Infiltration and Ventilation Center)
founded in 1979 under the IEA Implementing Agreement ECBCS (Energy Conservation
for Building and Community Systems), is the most recognized portal for the
technological information on ventilation, reveals the event organizers press
release.

The AIVC Conference has been held every year. For the 29th AIVC
Conference, in collaboration with ECBCS, papers are invited for the following
research and development topics: Natural Ventilation, Mechanical Ventilation, Hybrid
Ventilation, Air Filtering, HVAC System for Non-Residential Building, Heating
and Air-conditioning for Residential Building, Thermal Environment, Standard
and Regulation for Ventilation and HVAC, Control Technology, Commissioning, Integration
of Building Envelope and Services, Envelope Air Tightness, Condensation
Prevention, Energy Retrofitting, Computer Simulation, Post Occupancy Evaluation
and Surveys, Case Study Building, and Air Distribution.
