Indoor air quality (IAQ) has been a growing concern in recent years, and for good reason. With the rise of energy-efficient buildings that are tightly sealed to prevent air leakage, ensuring adequate IAQ has become increasingly challenging. In response to this growing concern, the European Union (EU) has introduced the EU Clean Air Policy to regulate and improve IAQ in buildings.
It's become increasingly clear in recent months that buildings falling short of IAQ standards can experience a rapid decline in value. This makes it all the more important to prepare well in advance to ensure compliance.
In this blog post, we'll go over what you need to know about the EU Indoor Air Quality Regulation and provide you with a checklist to ensure compliance.
The EU Indoor Air Quality Regulation (Clean Air Policy) provides guidelines and recommendations to improve IAQ in buildings across Europe. The regulation covers a wide range of pollutants, including particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
The regulation draws from the EN 16798-1 and the WHO indoor air quality standards to provide comprehensive guidelines and recommendations for improving IAQ in buildings across Europe.
To ensure that your building meets the standards set by the EU Indoor Air Quality Regulation, we have compiled a comprehensive checklist covering all major pollutants and factors that require monitoring. By following this checklist, you can ensure compliance with the regulation and maintain a healthy indoor environment.
One of the most effective ways to ensure compliance with the EU Indoor Air Quality Regulation is to conduct a thorough indoor air quality check of your building. An IAQ check will help identify any potential sources of indoor air pollution, as well as any existing problems with the building's ventilation or filtration systems. Armed with this information, you can take steps to mitigate any issues and improve your building's indoor air quality.
We understand that staying compliant can be a challenging task, which is why we are here to help you every step of the way. With our comprehensive indoor air quality check, our indoor air quality experts will measure all relevant parameters, including temperature, humidity, and pollutants such as PM2.5, PM10, TVOCs, and CO2. Our experts will provide you with a detailed report of our findings, along with recommendations for improving your IAQ and ensuring compliance with the regulation.
With our expertise and guidance, you can rest assured that your building's indoor air quality is safe and healthy for all occupants.
