PERFECTION · PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR HEALTH, COMFORT AND SAFETY OF THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT

The aim of PERFECTION is to help enable the application of new building design and technologies that improve the impact of the indoor built environment on health, comfort, feeling of safety and positive stimulation. The project concept consists of the following components: - the inventory of current standards, regulations, technologies and ongoing and recent research activities and policies related with optimal indoor environment - analysis of current indoor performance indicators and their applicability positioned within a generic framework, and identifying areas where new indicators for health and safety should be developed - experiences from use cases of building design and technologies exploiting the indicators in different building types - development of a decision support tool to guide the use of correct indicators for a given context - identification of incentives and barriers for the wide use of performance indicators - a roadmap and recommendations for building design and technologies, and support for policies - a wide dissemination of findings through an extensive expert network. The project is carried out at an EU scale and the project results will reach every EU country. More than 40 experts from over 30 countries and representing industry, academia and research were carefully selected to the PERFECTION team to ensure the needed depth and width. The network consists of experts from various domains that are in the focus of the call, such as indoor health issues, acoustics, universal design, performance metrics and tools, sustainable design and construction, etc. The PERFECTION project will organize 5 events all across Europe and will produce a quality publication - showcase of a number of case studies across all EU-27 countries, whereby the impact of innovative and well defined technologies as well as policies on specific buildings will be presented in a user friendly way.
