Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a major issue in the construction sector. The fact is that poor IAQ increases the occurrence of pathologies that can become serious. In 2014, a study based on 6 priority pollutants estimated the socio-economic cost of indoor air pollution at 19 billion euros per year. The importance of choosing low-emission materials and good ventilation increases as buildings become more airtight. However, unlike reducing energy consumption, very few construction/renovation projects integrate these issues into the design, construction and maintenance of buildings. ET'Air aims to develop the cross-border market for the energy-efficient construction/renovation of buildings with IAQ requirements. Indoor air quality depends on materials, construction devices, heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, etc. It is a complex issue and requires the involvement of all stakeholders, from the design to the operation of built structures, not to mention the construction phase and the health of construction company employees. Trained companies capable of building and renovating “energy efficient and healthy” buildings will have a head start and a competitive advantage in a context of increasing construction site volumes. The ET'Air project aims to carry out pedagogical work and a scientific and technical validation of IAQ data to integrate IAQ into training and support programmes for building professionals. (English)
