WP3.2 Tasks






WP3.2 Tasks






Step 1Step 2Step 3

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools

- Step 1: EU in 4 clusters based on: - Country’s overall climate (winter T, summer T, RH)

- Geographical location

- Step 2: In each cluster:- Inventory of reported data on IAQ at school (≥ 2007) per country

- Quantity and quality of the data sufficient?

- Step 3: Main study vs case study participation per cluster: - Need for more knowledge on IAQ at school in that country/cluster?

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools- Step 1: Identification of clusters

Cluster 1

Cluster 2Cluster 3

Cluster 4

Cluster 1: Northern Europe-Cold climate, cold winters-Large differences old vs new buildings ; Well insulated rooms, ventilation systems (Norway, Sweden, Finland)

Cluster 2: Central Europe-Moderate climate, moderately cold winters-Differences old vs new buildings (ventilation, insulation, passive and low energy construction)

Cluster 3: Eastern Europe-Colder climate, cold winters-Moderate to low insulation no ventilation systems (?)

Cluster 4: Southern Europe-Warm , warmer winters Mediterranean climate-Moderate to low insulation-Ventilation?

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools- Step 1: Identification of clusters

Cluster 1: - Northern part of Europe : cold climate, cold winters- Large differences old vs new buildings; Well

insulated rooms, ventilation systems (Norway, Sweden, Finland)

Cluster 2: - Central Europe: moderate climate, moderately cold

winters- Large differences old vs new buildings (ventilation,

insulation)

Cluster 3: - Eastern Europe: colder climate, cold winters- Moderate to low insulation no ventilation systems

(?)

Cluster 4:- Southern Europe: warm , warmer winters

Mediterranean climate- Moderate to low insulation- Ventilation (?)

Included countries

(8) Norway, Sweden, Finland, Island, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania

(9) UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Swisserland

(8) Poland, Slovakia, Czech republic, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina

(8) Portugal, Spain, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia , Italy, Malta, Greece, Cyprus, Albania

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools- Step 2: In each cluster

- Inventory of reported data on IAQ at school (≥ 2007) per country (WP2)- Quantity and quality of the data?

TO BE COMPLETED

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools- Step 3: Distribution main studies vs case studies per cluster

• Main study of max 120 schools

• Main study in 24 countries

• For each cluster a minimal participation in the main study

• Main study ‘weight’ is equal to case study ‘weight’


• Is there a need for more data on IAQ at school in a country of cluster x?



– Representative quantity of data available?

– IAQ assessment in at least 20 schools since 2007? – IAQ assessment in more than 1 room per school?





– Representative quality of data available?– Fieldwork based on validated methods? – Fieldwork with respect to ISO 16000?– Standardised methods? – SINPHONIE pollutants included?

no

no

More data needed


• Yes, there is a need for more data on IAQ at school in a country:

• Main study schools in that country ≥ 8?

• Participation in case studies = 0





• No, there is no need for more data on IAQ at school in a country:

• Main study schools minimal for that country

• Main study schools in total cluster 10 (distribution according to distribution of schools in cluster)

• Participation in maximum 2 case studies





• No, there is no need for more data on IAQ at school in a country:

• Main study schools minimal for that country

• Main study schools in total cluster 10 (distribution according to distribution of schools in cluster)

• Participation in maximum 2 case studiesD 3.2.2

Task 3 Environmental sampling & measurements- Case Studies

Case study 1: The effectiveness of ventilation (aeration) to enhance IAQ(removal of contaminants originating from indoor or outdoor sources)

Case study 2: The effectiveness of abatement measures on IAQ problems at school (use of air cleaners or removal of potential sources)

Case Study 3: Influence of season on IAQ parameters

Case study 4: Emissions from consumer products and building materials, (products typically related to classroom construction, decoration or activities)

Case study 5: Mechanisms of chemical interactions in indoor mixtures (typically found in schools)
