Indoor performance and sustainability

Perfection (Performance Indicators for Health, Comfort and Safety of the Indoor Environment, 2009-11) is a European Coordination Action under EC's 7th Framework Programme. It aims to help enabling the application of new building design and technologies that improve the impact of the indoor built environment on health and comfort, feeling of safety and positive stimulation integrated within a sustainable built environment. Perfection project consists of the following components · the inventory of current standards, regulations, technologies, and ongoing and recent research activities and policies related to the optimal indoor environment · an analysis of current indicators for health and comfort, safety and accessibility, positive stimulation, adaptability and usability positioned within a generic framework to assess their impacts to sustainability · experiences from pilot cases exploiting the key indoor performance indicators in different building types. This paper presents the findings from applicable design technologies and potential Key Indoor Performance Indicators (KIPIs) representing health and comfort, accessibility safety and positive stimulation, usability and adaptability in relation with their impacts to sustainable buildings
