The air distribution in occupied spaces is a major issue of public
concern. It is widely recognized that the quality of air and the nature
of airflow can affect the health of occupants and the energy consumed in
buildings and transport vehicles. ROOMVENT is the principal
international conference in the field of air distribution. It was first
initiated in 1987 by SCANVAC, the Scandinavian Federation of Heating,
Ventilating and Sanitary Engineering Associations in Denmark, Finland,
Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
The aim of the Conference is to bring together researchers from
universities and research institutes, engineers from industry and
government officials and policy makers, with the goal of experiencing
the latest techniques for measuring and analyzing indoor air flow, the
visualization of indoor air flow patterns, the evaluation of ventilation
parameters and the most recent developments in computer simulation
techniques of room airflow. It is hoped that the theme of ROOMVENT 2000
"Ventilation for Health and Sustainable Environment" will set the
scene for room air distribution research and development for the new
millennium.
