An overview of national trends related to innovative ventilation systems
This paper summarises presentations and discussions that took place during the workshop entitled “Trends in national building ventilation markets and drivers for change” held in Ghent, Belgium, in March 2008 with a specific focus on innovative (ventilation) systems. This workshop was organised by the AIVC, with the support of ASIEPI. Before this workshop, experts were asked to provide information regarding their national situation and the difficulties they felt to improve the situation in terms of market penetration of innovative systems, indoor air quality and energy use requirements, and compliance check schemes. This has resulted in a set of Ventilation Information Papers published by the AIVC. This paper summarises the innovation issue.
