Abstract:
The European project - HealthyAir is a network project involving six
institutions in Europe on actions and activities that address the effects of
construction products on indoor air. Different ways to improve indoor air
quality were reviewed, ranging from source control to education of occupants on
how to manage the built environment to achieve healthy and acceptable indoor
air. Through literature study, organised workshops with scientific experts and
building professionals as well as via interviews with three stakeholder groups:
producers of construction products, architects and housing corporations;
requirements for information, guidance and actions to improve indoor air quality
were identified. These requirements formed the basis of a possible approach to
improve indoor air quality: education and awareness, regulations and policies
and further research and development.
