Technology and Research

REHVA’s mission is to advance the science and practice of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), as well as other engineering services related to indoor climate and industrial processes, on an international level. Several technology and research activities support this mission.

REHVA’s Technology and Research Committee produces high-quality technical knowledge for building service engineers, facilitating the exchange of practical information and disseminating the latest technology developments. REHVA also actively participates in EU-funded research projects in relevant topics, ensuring that cutting-edge findings are effectively integrated into engineering practices. In addition, REHVA publishes Technical reports and white papers that guide policy implementation, ensuring it is both efficient and effective, thereby supporting the broader goals of sustainability and innovation in the built environment.

Technology and Research Committee

Technology and Research Committee

The committee serves REHVA Members and Supporters through the active involvement of their representatives and collaborates with European and international organizations that share similar goals.

The Technology and Research Committee (TRC) is dedicated to producing structured technical outputs that consolidate the latest European knowledge across various aspects of building services engineering, with a particular focus on HVAC. This work is carried out by Task Forces—groups of international experts who operate autonomously on diverse topics.

The technical outputs produced by the TRC form the foundation for a wide range of REHVA products, including guidebooks, handbooks, e-learning courses, technical reports, guidance documents, and white papers. To ensure alignment and maximize impact, the TRC works in close coordination with REHVA’s other standing committees—the Education and Training Committee (ETC), the Publication and Marketing Committee (PMC), and the Supporters Committee (SC).

Technical knowledge products may be purchased individually at the REHVA eShop or accessed in bulk at the Knowledge Hub.

EU-funded Research Projects

EU-funded Research Projects

Participation in EU-funded research projects is a key element of REHVA’s mission to promote the science and practice of HVAC internationally. By engaging in these projects, REHVA supports the development and market uptake of innovative technologies, while advancing capacity building and professional training in the fields of building energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality.

REHVA prioritizes collaboration with industry stakeholders, policymakers, and research institutions to drive meaningful change. Through these efforts, REHVA contributes to achieving the EU’s climate goals and promoting a more sustainable and healthy indoor environment. A vital part of this work is the transfer of knowledge and innovation from the European level to national contexts, facilitated through REHVA’s Member Associations, ensuring that research outcomes and best practices are effectively implemented across Europe.

Technical Reports and White Papers

Technical Reports and White Papers

REHVA produces technical reports and white papers that align with its mission to advance economical, energy-efficient, safe, and healthy technologies for building mechanical services. These publications play a crucial role in supporting the development and implementation of EU policies and their adaptation at the national level. By facilitating knowledge exchange among its members and the broader building engineering community, REHVA ensures that its technical guidance contributes to the efficient and effective realization of policies in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), promoting sustainability and innovation across Europe.
