Topic of the month

It highlights indoor environmental quality (IEQ), occupant behaviour and resilience, and examines how to bridge the gap between policy ambition and real-life performance under the EPBD.
- Policy framework and regulatory integration of IEQ under the EPBD
- Occupant behaviour and user interaction in building performance
- Balancing energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality
- Building operation, maintenance and performance gap
…and more!
