IEQ in the EPBD – How to set national requirements in line with revised EPBD? Passed

Thursday April 25, 2024 12:20 - 12:40

Speaker: Prof.Jarek Kurnitski

Category: Program

Revised EPBD is making an effort to cover indoor environmental quality (IEQ) both in renovation and new buildings. While setting the minimum requirements are on the responsibility of Member States, in many places EPBD requires to do so. There is a focus change especially in renovation to move from avoiding possible negative effects to optimal indoor environmental quality. In new buildings an optimal indoor environmental quality is stressed as enabling measure for good energy performance. Perhaps the most important new requirement is to equip non-residential zero-emission buildings with measuring and control devices for the regulation of indoor air quality at relevant unit level. This and other requirements having direct implications to construction in coming years will be explained in detail in the presentation.
