Local/national networks on built environment invited to join the Built4People Innovation Cluster network
ECTP and WGBC, the private partners of the Built4People partnership from Horizon Europe, are initiating a network of clusters related to the built environment, that have common ambitions to increase their interdisciplinarity, their multi-sectoral coverage, and their European outreach.
The first call for applications is now open to all local or national networks/hubs that are interested in joining this new network.

Technical Article – An overview of post-occupancy evaluation in educational buildings
How important is the air we breathe indoors? Logically, it is extremely important, and even more when children are involved. If we want to measure and evaluate the indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort of buildings, as well as assessing the energy efficiency, post-occupancy evaluation (POE) comes into play. How should it be implemented in schools to improve wellbeing and the building´s energy performance?
