Poor Indoor Environment Gives:
500 dead per annumExplosive increase in allergies
& asthmaLess wellbeingPoorer performanceIncreased cost to enterpriseIncreased cost to society
Totally unnecessarily!

MiljöhälsoutredningenSOU 1996:124
No one should become sick or suffer any symptoms due to deficiencies in the indoor environmentPoor ventilation in residential buildings, schools and pre-schools should be correctedAll residential buildings, schools and pre-schools with a radon levels above the threshold value for private nuisance should be corrected before the year 2010

Life
We eat 1 kg per dayWe drink 3 kg per day
We breathe 30 kg of air per day,which is about 25,000 litres!
90% of our time is spent indoors -90% of the air we breathe is therefore indoor air

”Outdoor air has relatively small impacton public health, we are not outside that much.In addition, outdoor air here in the Nordic countries isn’t that polluted. Here, the indoor air is the major problem”

Extensive medical examinationHome environment studied in detail
Condensation is a warning
Good ventilation gives healthier children

The Bamse Study
4000 children followedWhy do children become allergic?40% of 4-year olds have some form of allergy
Risk factors:Poor indoor climateSmokingShort period of breast feedingMore than one risk factor gives large increase

The Massachusetts Study
Is performance affected by the air flow?
Minimum requirement = 50% higher absence due to sicknessAnnual loss = 400 dollars per person
Larger air flow gives healthier people

Does hybrid ventilation work?
Is energy saved?Will air quality be consistent?Will investment costs increase?Higher LCC?
Hybrid ventilation can work –but requires significantly more energy than FTX

Natural Draught
Exhaust via ductsOutdoor air via slot valves, windows, leaksLarge rooms, warm chimney, leaky housesToday’s houses are not built this way
Adequate in old and leaky houses, but hard to clean the air,
complicated to build

Rules and Regulations Uncertainties 3 (4)
A common misunderstanding is that the private nuisance threshold value… can be used as criteria for acceptable quality of supply air. The Board’s threshold value is a measure of the highest acceptable rate of air pollution in the breathing air at a workplace. As a measure of acceptable level of pollution they are not applicable.
Addendum to § 22 of the regulations
