Indoor Environment Quality

In the frame of the project Flux50 smart ventilation, researchers and industrials aim at qualifying ventilation in mid-sized buildings through multidisciplinary consideration of sleep quality, user satisfaction, acoustic comfort, installation, maintenance, resilience and indoor air quality. As those factors may impact at different levels it is important to select a common metric for evaluation. Assessment of financial costs induced by the various categories will be used in that purpose.

The aim of the Pythagoras project is the development and assessment of Greek national trainingmaterial in the sector of indoor environmental quality. The need for education in this specific sector isdictated by the significant indoor environment deterioration and associated health hazards, which arecaused by low ventilation levels, combined with the use of many modern building materials thataggravate pollutants emissions.
