101:. The centre was established as the 5th research project (Annex 5) in the context of the implementing agreement Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (at that time called ECBCS) of the International Energy Agency. Since its inauguration, in 1979, the AIVC has been running without interruption. In November, 2020 the executive committee of the International Energy Agency Technical Collaboration Programme Buildings and Communities, approved a 5-year extension period for the AIVC from 2022 till 2026. In the first years, the AIVC's primary focus was understanding and finding ways to limit the energy impact of air infiltration in buildings. 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

activities including the use of advanced and innovative dissemination strategies. The centre is operated by the
International Network for Information on Ventilation and Energy Performance, which is a registered European Economic Interest Grouping whose members include building research centres in Europe.

The Air
Information Review was a quarterly newsletter containing topical and informative articles on air infiltration and ventilation research and application. It was published from 1979 to 2010. Since 2011, the AIVC publishes twice a year a four-page newsletter with the aim to provide information on

AIRBASE is the
Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains abstracts of articles and publications related to energy efficient ventilation of buildings. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries.

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
210:
The AIVC holds a conference each year in
September/October in one of the AIVC participating countries, with around 50 to 150 presentations on a variety of topics in the air infiltration and ventilation fields. Since 1980, these annual conferences have been an international meeting point for
