AIVC - Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre

In recognition of the significant impact of ventilation on energy use, combined with concerns over indoor air quality, the International Energy Agency (IEA) inaugurated the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre in 1979. The role of the centre is to provide technical support to those involved in the research and development of ventilation technology as well as to ensure the widest dissemination of information on related energy and air quality issues. The AIVC offers services including the availability of the "Air Information Review" quarterly newsletter, the AIVC CD, a bibliographic database and other selected publications.

IEA - Sustainable Buildings Centre

The IEA Sustainable Buildings Centre (IEA-SBC) is the online voice for low energy buildings.

They:

• Make policy recommendations and provide governments and other stakeholders with knowledge on proven building energy policies;
• Enhance global information sharing on energy efficiency policies for buildings;
• Develop energy efficiency indicators to enhance analysis of policy scenarios and monitor progress on policy implementation;
• Promote exchanges of knowledge among policymakers and energy policy and technical experts in the buildings sector; and
• Create networks and opportunities for collaboration on low energy policies and technologies.
