Work Package 4, leader TNO

Objectives:

- To check the set of performance criteria to determine whether expectations were accurate, and to make corrections to the list where necessary;
- To check the proposed method to measure these performance criteria;
- To transform where possible quantitative measured performance criteria into qualitative descriptive performance criteria;
- To provide guidelines to improve unhealthy and low energy-efficient buildings;
- To determine the presence/absence of a list of illnesses/conditions with reasonable certainty.

Description of work

On the basis of the general survey at least 32 buildings will be selected for a detailed survey. WP 4 will study buildings that have a low energy use, to characterise the differences between those that are healthy and those that are not (based on the WP 3 findings). The final goal is to determine the presence/absence of a list of illnesses/conditions with reasonable certainty. In this WP, targeted measurements and analyses will be performed in the selected buildings to assess detailed information in addition to the information collected within WP3.

Deliverables
  • No. 13 Selection criteria for 32 buildings in WP 4
  • No. 14 Methodology for detailed investigation of office and apartment buildings
  • No. 15 Results of detailed investigations in 32 buildings
  • No. 16 Final database
  • No. 17 Analysis of detailed investigations in 32 buildings
