We congratulate all the REHVA awardees and newly appointed new REHVA fellows.

A big thank as well to all the attendees for their participation and we wish to see you soon at the next event, hopefully in person.

REHVA is saddened to announce that Donald Leeper, Vice-president 2008-2011, died in April, a victim of COVID-19. His career spanned half a century, as did his service to CIBSE, BSRIA, the Construction Industry Council and REHVA.

Donald served on the board of REHVA from 2008 to 2011. He was particularly involved in the elaboration of REHVA’s 5-year strategic plan presented at CLIMA 2011 in Antalya. We keep in mind a strong member of the board, who really contributed to REHVA ˋs goals, aims and objectives with a great professionalism and a very strong ethical approach.

We shall remember Donald s a highly skilled professional, promoting our domain with a strong conviction, one of the personalities we only had a chance to meet via REHVA and whom we all benefitted from.

We keep Donald's family and friends in our thoughts as they go through this difficult time.

After COVID-19 lockdowns and buildings reopening, it will be very important to comply with industry standards and the attention will have to be put on the cleanliness of the ventilation systems. REHVA Guidebook No. 9: Hygiene Requirement for Ventilation and Air Conditioning provides guidance on hygiene requirements for planning, installation, maintenance and operation and describes appropriate test procedures and test criteria for ventilation and air-conditioning systems and air-handling units.

This Guidebook applies to all ventilation and air-conditioning systems and air-handling units and their central or decentralised components which influence the quality of the supply air. It is intended to provide a holistic formulation of hygiene-related constructional, technical and organisational requirements supplementing current regulations, ISO–, EN-standards and VDI standards. This guidebook addresses all those involved in the planning, manufacture, execution, operation and maintenance of ventilating and air-conditioning systems.
