Objective
The indoor climate and the indoor air quality comprises issues of large interest for public health and economy. People spend nearly 90% of their time indoors (dwellings, offices, schools, factories etc.). The levels of air contaminants indoors are also significantly higher indoors than outdoors in all types of environment. An indoor/outdoor factor of 10 is common for most organic compounds. The reason for this is that emissions from indoor contaminant sources accumulates indoors due to limited available ventilation rates. Due to thermal comfort reasons and energy consumption aspects, the ventilation rate of buildings must be limited to reasonable levels, while the public health requires adequate freedom of contaminants. National guidelines and regulations about minimum acceptable ventilation rates in different indoor environments have therefore been established in most countries. An increasing prevalence of allergies, hypersensitivity and diffuse health symptoms
(sick-building-syndrome), now approaching an epidemic Ievel, has focused the interest to contaminant sources and adequate ventilation of the indoor environment. The goal of the CRAFT-project is to develop new simple and reliable "passive" tracer gas techniques for field measurement of ventilation, to introduce it into new areas of application and to broaden a European and a non-European market for measurement equipment and services. The RTD work will serve three goals: Support technical development of two innovative techniques for measurement of ventilation and air distribution in buildings. The first one is a technique which allows measurement during pre-determined time intervals during an extended period. The second one is a quick, reliable and inexpensive technique for measurement during short periods of time. Design, test and introduce the techniques for application in industrial buildings. Test, demonstrate and market the techniques (especially in commercial buildings) on the European market The research part of the work is intended to yield the necessary knowledge for production of equipment and designing of service routines that fulfils high expectations of measurement accuracy.
