It is obvious that high humidity levels in buildings should be avoided, among others, to reduce the risk of mold. But what about the low levels? It is recommended to reduce pollution sources, ventilate, and keep buildings dry to reach a high level of air quality. But how low is acceptable? Thermal comfort requirements define the range of relative humidity between 30% to 70%, whereas 40% to 60%  is recommended concerning health risk and infection control. EN Standard 16798 defines the level for humidification to be when relative humidity is between 20% and 30%, depending on the building category. What, then, is the right low relative humidity level, and what is the dry air? This short talk will attempt to answer these questions by briefly summarizing the research evidence and discussing different humidification solutions. A tentative acceptable level of low relative humidity will be proposed. Ph.D., Prof. Pawel Wargocki  ISIAQ Fellow, ASHRAE Fellow, REHVA Fellow International Centre for Indoor Environment and Energy Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, DTU SUSTAIN Technical University of Denmark pawar@dtu.dk

The debate on what indoor air quality is concerning pollutants and levels has been going on for decades. Despite the growing research evidence and understanding, no ultimate decisions have been made. Today, high IAQ is understood as low levels of CO2 and high ventilation. Is this all we can do today? Is it at all sufficient? What changes are needed to secure high indoor air quality further in a short time frame, and what would be the ideal scenario? A few elements are needed to achieve that goal, including, among others, high quality of outdoor air, supporting regulations across different disciplines, particularly those related to energy use and sustainability, the rating scheme for IAQ, the change of ventilation standards with the higher acknowledgment of a need of efficient air distribution, occupants in control but reasonable and not complete,  and promoting health in connection to indoor air quality and not only avoiding the associated risks. These few actions are expected to make a significant change and lead to cutting-edge innovations. This talk will provide arguments to support this change.

Until 2040, €115 billion will be invested in infrastructure and construction projects in the Stockholm Business Region, shows a new report commissioned by the city of Stockholm. Staffan Ingvarsson, CEO of Stockholm International Fairs, gives a warm welcome to all international guests and provides an insight into key projects for the city and region in the upcoming years.

Menno has been a design-driven project developer and director of cepezedprojects since 2000. Circularity plays a leading role in every project of cepezedprojects. For his contribution to the transition to a circular construction economy, he was proclaimed 'Circular Hero' in 2022. In addition, Menno participates in various platforms, including the Circular Construction Economy Transition Team, which aims to transform construction into a fully circular industry.

The housing construction industry in Sweden undergoes one of the biggest crises in recent history. At the same time, demand for new housing is huge and reports show that once the pace picks up, projects will be aplenty. How can the industry keep up the pace and what could international companies with know-how from their home markets bring to the table?

Join Dutch circular hero and architect Menno Rubbens together with front figure of Swedens Save The Building "Krama Byggnaden" campaign and one of several projekt leaders of the state-funded research projects "Återhus - att bygga hus av hus" Robin Rushdi Al-Sálehi in an intense discussion about the future of circular urban planning. A future where reuse is the new normal and recycling the last resort. With starting point in their own reuse projects they guide us through todays most prominent and ambitious ideas, compare their different markets and share their experience and the passion for circularity as the core of architecture.

The session discusses the most important features of the regulatory framework and gives practical insights into what international companies should know in order to get succesful on the Swedish market. It includes and introduction to the legal framework, insights into construction material registration and a quick look on Swedish business culture

The art of producing hand-blown flat glass has become a rare craft. In Lamberts glassworks, founded in 1906, the glassmakers have preserved and perfected these traditional production methods. With 70 employees and an export rate of over 75 percent, the medium-sized company from Northern Bavaria is Germany's only manufacturer and at the same time the world market leader. The main products are the hand-blown window glass and more than 5000 different colored glasses. A particular specialty are the two- or multi-colored overlaid glasses, which are complex to produce. Hand-cast Dall and table cathedral glass complete the special offer. 

With ambitious sustainabilty goals at the top of the agenda the need for efficient energy solutions in building and construction are a must. The panel features experts in the fields of proptech and contech in Sweden and Europe, an industry that has shown immense growth over the last decade. Nevertheless, there is so much more to be done.

Rising energy costs and climate awareness have increased the popularity of hybrid heating systems in Finland during recent years. These systems – when operating according to design – can significantly cut both energy costs and emissions. However, this may often not be the case in reality. Lack of proper commissioning was identified as one of the potential causes for challenges in the operation of hybrid heating systems. Key personnel from eight field sites comprising e.g. schools, shopping malls and apartment houses were interviewed to find out potential deficiencies in the commissioning process. The results from these interviews were then compared to identify common themes, and based on these, suggestions to improve the situation in the future were made. Some of the key findings include that in Finland, a designated commissioning provider is often not appointed to the projects, and the commissioning process mainly concerns the testing and handover phases.

A HVAC system is installed to provide a comfortable and healthy indoor environment at a low carbon emission. It is not only a question about energy efficiency; but also on how effective a system can use renewable energy when available. Large surface radiant heating and cooling systems are using water temperatures close to the desired room temperature both for heating and cooling. Therefore the system is capable of any type of energy source (district heating/cooling, water pumps, ground source systems) with a high efficiency.

Ventilation based on total volume air distribution in spaces is not always an efficient way to provide occupants with high air for breathing at low-energy consumption. This talk justifies the need for improving the present air distribution design in spaces, and in general the need for a paradigm shift from the design of present ventilation methods to design of advanced ventilation focused on control of supplied air distribution providing each occupant with clean air for breathing. Examples of advanced air distribution solutions in spaces for different use, such as offices, hospital rooms, vehicle compartments, etc. are presented. The potential of controlled air distribution for improving health and comfort of ach occupant at reduced energy consumption is demonstrated. Design criteria are defined and further development is outlined.
