Personal Environmental Control System (PECS) with the functions of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and acoustic has advantages of controlling the localized environment at occupant’s workstation by their preference instead of conditioning an entire room. This improves personal comfort, health and energy efficiency of the entire heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system substantially. Personalized ventilation will also provide improved protection against cross contaminations, which are critical in open plan offices and workplaces with close distance.

This article follows a first publication presented at the AIVC2022 conference (Handtschoewercker, 2022), with the preliminary results of the RENOVAIR project, that studies the impact of energy renovation works on social housing on the comfort and health of occupants when no requirements are given on IAQ, ventilation and airtightness performances.

Improving the energy performance of a building has been shown to improve health outcomes in fuel poor homes (Wang et al., 2022). However, increasing building air tightness through provision of increased insulation, without due regard to building ventilation, can result in poorer air quality and impaired health for residents, in particular impaired respiratory health (Wimalasena et al., 2021; McGill et al., 2015; Ferguson et al., 2020).
