Outline for a general framework for the assessment of innovative ventilation systems

The mains goal of the RESHYVENT project was to develop various hybrid ventilation systems for dwellings. One of the workpackage was dedicated to standards and regulations. It appeared very quicly that the only regulation that could be a major barrier for hybrid ventilation systems would be EPBD related regulations, if no principle of equivalence is available. This report will highlight the need for the development of a coherent approach for the assesment of innovative systems, based on a mixture of European measures and national actions, and will present a generic (but not operational) proposal for practical approach for simulating the performances of hybrid ventilation systems. It addresses only the aspect relative to the simulation of the performance of advanced ventilation system.
