INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT . WHERE ARE WE AND DO THEY APPLY WORLDWIDE ?
@inproceedings{Olesen2005INTERNATIONALSF, title={INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT . WHERE ARE WE AND DO THEY APPLY WORLDWIDE ?}, author={Bjarne W. Olesen}, year={2005} }
On the international level ISO (International Organization for Standardization), CEN (European Committee for Standardization) and ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) are writing standards related to the indoor environment. This presentation will focus on the development of standards for the indoor thermal environment and indoor air quality. In the future, recommendations for acceptable indoor environments will be specified as classes. This allows…
