​Nordic Ventilation Group is a group of academics sharing the same interest and concerns regarding the indoor climate and ventilation. The objective of the Nordic Ventilation Group (NVG) is to develop Nordic ventilation technologies and services for good and healthy indoor environment with an energy efficient and environmentally friendly way.  The work is 100% voluntary and free from commercial interest. Possible outcomes of the work can be published through various channels with the common agreement of the group. Nordic Ventilation Group was very active in 80´s and 90´s when mechanical ventilation became more common in Nordic counties. The group published several guidelines for measuring air flow rates and evaluating of the performance of ventilation. The history and objectives of the group are described in more details in the attached article (in Swedish).
The group was established again 2020. The convenor of NVG is Olli Seppänen.
