IEA EBC Annex 68 – Subtask 2, Pollutant Loads in Buildings

First the Subtask will organize a literature survey and make researcher contacts to gather relevant data and existing knowledge on major pollutant sources and loads in buildings, including models. Laboratory testing and model setup to provide examples of new types of data which shall be beneficial to improve knowledge on combined effects that must be taken into consideration in order to achieve new paradigms for energy optimal operation of buildings. It is anticipated that the Subtask will gather data about combined effects describing how temperature and moisture conditions influence the emission and sorption of various pollutants in materials.
