This position paper gives a brief overview of opportunities and challenges for ventilative cooling solutions both:

• To contribute to the 2050 objectives of the EU for a decarbonized building sector.
• To anticipate future heat waves and other shocks and thus limit the overheating risk, which is an increasing concern in low-energy buildings.

venticool partners believe policy makers and standard bodies should take steps together with the implementation of the EPBD recast to accelerate the uptake of this technology.
