Most people in Central Europe spend the majority of the day indoors. The quality of indoor air is therefore very important for health and well-being. Construction products can be an important source of indoor pollution through their emissions. The implementation of health requirements to assess emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from construction products into indoor air under the Construction Products Regulation has been under discussion since 2010.

This keynote aimed to review the state of knowledge on indoor air quality in our main living spaces, including homes, daycare centers, schools, and offices, emphasizing the differences according to building types and occupancy. The health effects associated with exposure to various indoor pollutants were examined. Recent evolutions and future trends were presented.

In many parts of the world, outdoor air quality is so poor that it is better to avoid ventilation with outdoor air. In such cases, the alternative is to substitute ventilation with air cleaning to maintain high indoor air quality. Even when outdoor air quality is good, the use of air cleaning substituting ventilation with outdoor air could reduce the rate of outside air supplied indoors and thereby energy for conditioning (heating/cooling) the ventilation air, filtration and for transporting the air (fan energy) can be saved.
We are happy to announce that the recordings of the AIVC & TightVent co-organized webinar, “Building and ductwork airtightness trends and regulations in China, Japan and New Zealand”, held on December 13, 2024 are now available on our website!
