SMART VENTILATION WHITE PAPER
03/06/2026
Smart ventilation closes the gap between design intent and real operation by shifting toward a performance-based approach: healthier indoor air with less energy.
Mechanical ventilation is essential for healthy and comfortable indoor spaces. It helps dilute pollutants, manage humidity, and support well-being. Yet, in many buildings, it still runs on fixed schedules, static settings, or manual intervention. That can be misaligned with reality: rooms are not always occupied as expected, uses change, and operation is rarely ‘as designed’.
As anticipated by this article: the white paper explains why smart ventilation matters for the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) delivery. Smart ventilation closes the gap between design intent and real-world operation by shifting toward a performance-based approach: delivering the right air, at the right time, in the right place, while keeping energy use as low as possible.
As Europe raises requirements on indoor environmental quality and accelerates renovations, how ventilation performs in day-to-day operation becomes a policy issue, not just an engineering detail.
