Description

Analysis of the existing indoor environmental pollution, either physical, chemical or biological. Furthermore, the ventilation level of the air conditioning systems is analysed, since low ventilation means an increase in the concentration of indoor pollutants, and too much ventilation increases energy consumption. Within this research line, we also conduct asessments on life cycle and environmental costs of buildings and facilities.
