ECBCS Annex 5 : AIVC(Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre)

• THE IEA information centre on energy efficient ventilation

• Created in 1979

• 2012: 15 member countries




Ongoing annexes –Belgian involvement

Communication on ECBCS in Belgian context

• Since many years– IEA technical days with project partners

– ECBCS and SHC together

• Under development– Improved distribution of info to potentially

interested Belgian experts and users• At present 300 addresses, to be improved

• About new initiatives, outcomes, …




Towards improved disseminationof the BRIAs?

• Why?– Not evident to have easy access to this

information

• How?– Pragmatic collaboration with BUILD UP portal?

• Information on BUILD UP

BUILD UP Partners

“Community”

“Embedded pages”

Conclusions

• Belgium is actively involved in ECBCS

• It is the intention to strengthen dissemination & involvement of Belgian building community

• We are studying the feasibility of a BRIA’s related website (at Belgian level or in international context) in collaboration with BUILD UP
