2004: The 25th Conference of the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre Prague, Czech republic - 15 to 17 September 2004: 'Silver Jubilee' conference. The theme of this conference is 'Ventilation and Retrofitting'. There are several reasons for selecting this theme: * air quality is below standards and/or the energy consumption for ventilation is high to very high in many existing buildings * improvement of the air quality and ventilation performances in existing buildings can be quite challenging * substantial improvement of the overall energy consumption of the building stock requires implementing large-scale measures in existing buildings, and often requires attention, even when it was not an issue before the retrofit * the retrofitting of existing buildings is a major theme in the EU 6th framework programme as well as in the 5-year plan of the US Department of Energy
2003 Ventilation, humidity control and energy 2002 Energy efficient and healthy buildings in sustainable cities 2001 Market opportunities for advanced ventilation technology
