History
The international platform for ventilative cooling- venticool was inaugurated in October 2012 during the 33rd AIVC Conference in Copenhagen. The platform is facilitated by the International Network for Information on Ventilation and Energy Performance- INIVE EEIG, which is a registered European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG) whose members include building research centres in Europe. Since then, the platform has been financially and/or technically supported by its partners: AGORIA-naventa,Reynaers Aluminium
