Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) is the International Energy Agency (IEA) information centre on energy efficient ventilation of buildings.〔BUILD UP energy solutions for better buildings, "(AIVC: Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre )", 2009〕〔M.W.Liddament, “(A Guide to Energy Efficient Ventilation )”, AIVC, Guide GV, 1996〕 == History == The AIVC started in 1979〔Airflow Exploration Center (AEC), "(HVAC Organizations )", Retrieved 09 May 2014〕〔IEA, "(EBC Annex 05 Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre )", 2014, Retrieved May 2014〕 in the context of the first and second oil crisis in 1973 and 1979. The Centre was established as the 5th research project (Annex 5) in the context of the implementing agreement Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme(EBC) - (at that time called ECBCS) of the International Energy Agency (IEA, 1974).〔R. Scott, "(History of the IEA: The First 20 Years. Volume I: Origins and Structure. )", IEA 1994〕〔Western Cooling Efficiency Center (WCEC), "(WCEC Director to Present at International Workshop in Washington, DC )", 2013〕 Since its inauguration, in 1979, the AIVC has been running without interruption.〔International Energy Agency "(EBC Annual Report 2012, Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme )", IEA, 2012〕 In the first years, the AIVC’s primary focus was understanding and finding ways to limit the energy impact of air infiltration in buildings.〔AIVC, "(Air Information Review, Vol. 25, No.4, September 2004 )", AIVC 2004〕〔P. Wouters, "(The new AIVC - your companion in the ventilation world )", 22nd AIVC Conference "Market Opportunities for Advanced Ventilation Technology", Bath, UK, 11–14 September 2001〕〔W. de Gids, "(A perspective on the AIVC )", 10th AIVC Conference "Progress and trends in air infiltration and ventilation research" Espoo, Finland, 25–28 September 1989〕 This was reflected in its original name “Air Infiltration Centre”. Ventilation was introduced in the name in 1986 because of the strong interactions between ventilation and infiltration in buildings and increasing interest in indoor air quality concerns.〔〔 The Centre has developed an expertise in ventilation and infiltration with a series of technical notes and guides〔 In parallel, the scientific and professional community in this area has grown significantly as well as the amount of research and development. Therefore, since 2011, to encourage exchanges and collaboration between the various stakeholders in the field, AIVC has shifted its focus to networking activities including the use of advanced and innovative dissemination strategies.〔BUILD UP energy solutions for better buildings, "(AIVC Newsletter No1 )", 2011〕 The Centre is operated by the International Network for Information on Ventilation and Energy Performance(INIVE), which is a registered European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) whose members include building research centres in Europe. Today, AIVC serves as a source of information for scientists and professionals interested in building ventilation and infiltration issues. The Centre holds annual conferences and workshops,〔Building Ecology, "(AIVC - Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre )", Retrieved May 2014〕 publishes papers and reports, and maintains a large database of publications. The AIVC also collaborates with the TightVent Europe and venticool platforms; both platforms are market oriented, created in 2011 and 2012 and focusing on building and ductwork airtightness and ventilative cooling strategies in buildings, respectively. In addition, the AIVC has collaborative activities with organizations such as the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ),the Federation of European Heating,Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations (REHVA),the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers ASHRAE. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
