A different view on indoor environment: Focus on people and situations rather than single-dose response relationships
conference paper
A different view on indoor environment quality (IEQ) is required. A view in which IEQ is approached in an integrative multi-disciplinary way, in which the focus is on users (situations) in stead of single components and in which the focus is an improving quality of life as opposed to only prevent people from getting ill or feeling bad. The indoor environment is considered as a system in which subsystems (components) are important, but in which the system can only function well when all subsystems are optimized with the total system, whether this is health, comfort or sustainability related. This approach makes room for a holistic and integral control of the indoor environment during the whole life cycle, from initiation to breakdown.
