Description
Most people breathe more polluted air indoors than outdoors, impairing human health, comfort and productivity. The best approach for providing a healthy indoor air is source identification and elimination with ventilation using clean outdoor air. However, it is not possible to eliminate all indoor air pollution sources in all indoor environments, and ventilation per se cannot be used if the outdoor air is polluted, and can have a negative impact on the energy performance of the building. Thus, air cleaning technologies are seen as promising effective methods to provide clean indoor air and many have been emerging in the market. However, given the sparse public and market information, the technologies’ limitations, the lack of standardisation and citizens’ understanding, there is a need to consolidate accessible information on existing technologies for indoor air cleaning and to progress beyond the state-of-the-art involving the various stakeholders. Thus, the main aim of Net4CleanAir is to create an international and interdisciplinary network of diverse stakeholders with a shared vision of promoting clean air for healthy and energy-efficient indoor environments throughout Europe. Net4CleanAir will join world-leading experts covering the main disciplines in air cleaning research and innovation which will be a unique opportunity to pave the way for progress beyond the state of the art, namely for future development of standards and regulations, and decision-making systems for indoor air cleaning technologies. Net4CleanAir will promote high-level and multidisciplinary training, along with scientific and societal dissemination to engage citizens at the centre of indoor air cleaning.
