Oct 9 - Oct 10 Dublin, Ireland AIVC 2024; TightVent; Venticool Conference [ventilation] International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC)

AIVC 2024The 44th AIVC 2024 Conference, co-located with the 12th TightVent and the 10th venticool, will be held on October 9 -10, 2024 in Dublin, Ireland.  Keeping with its theme, “”Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality,” AIVC 2024 will serve as a multidisciplinary platform to address the emerging challenges by exchanging cutting-edge ideas, research findings, policies and industrial experiences. The conference is combined with an exhibition by industry partners.

In a world striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, it is imperative to strike a balance that sustains both our environment as well as the health and comfort of the individuals inhabiting buildings. Considering that 90% of the current buildings are projected to remain in the year 2050, retrofitting the existing building stock is paramount to reaching decarbonization goals.

It is crucial to prioritize indoor environmental quality when reducing energy usage to meet climate targets. Well-designed and executed retrofits are needed to reduce carbon emissions while ensuring healthy indoor environments. Building retrofit professionals, energy conservation experts, ventilation system designers and installers, and indoor air quality specialists must collaborate on innovative solutions to achieve these multifaceted objectives.

The AIVC 2024 conference will consist of parallel sessions largely devoted to:

  • Smart ventilation, indoor air quality and health
  • Building and ductwork airtightness
  • Ventilative cooling – Resilient cooling

Oct 15 - Oct 16 Milwaukee, WI, US DLC Controls Summit 2024 [lighting controls] DesignLights Consortium (DLC)

DLC Controls SummitThe DLC Controls Summit, taking place on October 15-16 in Milwaukee, is an opportunity for professionals who design, promote, install, incentivize and specify lighting controls to network, learn and collaborate on ways to break down the barriers implementing and integrating lighting controls in facilities of all sizes.

Everyone agrees that the potential to optimize savings by integrating lighting controls with other building systems is real, but getting alignment on how to do this is less clear. By convening different groups of professionals to discuss the possibilities and challenges, we can begin to solve the problem together.

Integration is the last step on a larger pathway to connected lighting. Energy efficiency programs are starting to incorporate more than simple LED replacements, including controls, LLLCs and NLCs, plus other building systems such as HVAC. The results from DLC’s most recent potential study show clear value in integrating networked lighting controls (NLCs) with HVAC systems to save an additional 30% of HVAC energy in large buildings.

Summit attendees will have opportunities to network and discuss how controls can be used to optimize savings in a variety of building types, share experiences with installing NLCs and integrating lighting controls with other building systems, and explore new DLC resources that will encourage more NLC installations.
