Proposal of a More Reliable Model and Procedures for Estimating Operational Leakage in Air Systems

In a world striving to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, it is imperative to strike a balance thatsustains both our environment as well as the health and comfort of the individuals inhabitingbuildings. Considering that 90% of the current buildings are projected to remain in the year2050, retrofitting the existing building stock is paramount to reaching decarbonisation goals.From the perspective of climate goals, reducing energy use in the built environment via energyretrofit and climate neutral newly constructed buildings are critical. However, it is crucial toprioritise indoor environmental quality when reducing energy usage to meet climate targets.Well-designed and executed retrofits are needed to reduce carbon emissions while ensuringhealthy indoor environments. Building retrofit professionals, energy conservation experts,ventilation system designers & installers, and indoor air quality specialists must collaborate oninnovative solutions to achieve these multifaceted objectives. AIVC 2024 will serve as amultidisciplinary platform to address the emerging challenges by exchanging cutting-edgeideas, research findings, policies and industrial experiences.
