The Cleanairbouw project

An Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen project on indoor air quality (IAQ).

In France and Belgium, residential homes are currently the biggest emitters of VOCs. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is often worse than outdoor air quality. Detecting and eliminating this indoor pollution is therefore a public health issue for the cross-border population.

The objectives of the CleanAirBouw project, thanks to the cross-border skills shared by the partners, are to develop new effective systems for treating indoor air in buildings, to develop air quality monitoring systems and to provide scientific support to help establish standards in France and Belgium. Innovative treatment prototypes for pollutants from biomass (wood) combustion will also be developed.

As part of the project, the issue of IAQ will be raised among the general public, students and local authorities, particularly through schools. As for building professionals, training courses will be offered to help them choose more sustainable techniques.
