This 2 day conference will provide a wealth of insights from experiences of Quality Ventilation both nationally and internationally.

About this event

Wednesday and Thursday, Dodder A, RDS

Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) together with the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre (AIVC) are organising a conference entitled " Quality ventilation is the key to achieving low energy healthy buildings " to be held on 27-28 March 2019 in Dublin, Ireland.

We invite you to this important event which also provides attendees with an opportunity to see the SEAI Energy Show. It will inform approach on ventilation as a key component of delivering both new buildings and deep retrofit low energy buildings.
