INDAIRPOLLNET (INDOOR AIR POLLUTION NETWORK):DRIVING INDOOR AIR QUALITY RESEARCH IN EUROPE

摘要

Issues around indoor air quality (IAQ) have come into sharper focus recently with the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us are spending even more time indoors, particularly in our homes. This increased time indoors can be set against the backdrop of energy efficiency measures that are making buildings more airtight to address climate change impacts. For the reasons stated above, there is a clear need to balance energy conservation goals with satisfactory IAQ. This balance can only be achieved by gaining a fundamental understanding of the indoor environment and its relationship to outdoors through ventilation.
