AIVC's Ventilation Information Paper #46: Building airtightness impact on Energy Performance (EP) calculations aims to explain simplified models developed and used around the world to estimate the infiltration rate for Energy Performance (EP) calculations and give some examples of methodologies applied in various countries.
Researchers from Tallin University of Technology have developed a DigiAudit which is a digital platform to monitor air quality and energy consumption in educational buildings.
Although indoor air has received less attention compared to outdoor air, it is important to improve indoor air quality as indoor pollution can lead to several health effects.
This article presents a simulation-based approach to assess the readiness of dwellings for adopting lower-temperature heat from district heating systems as a means of gas-free heating transition.
The paper highlights the potential and limitations of digital methods concerning regenerative design and suggests possibilities for future expansion by incorporating additional quantifiable indicators that reflect research developments, to achieve positive outcomes.
