Indoor Quality & Ergonomics Lab

Indoor Quality & Ergonomics Lab

The Lab collects, elaborates and disseminates environmental culture, with regard to issues of well-being, hygiene, health, safety and sustainability in the building sector. On these issues, the unit is engaged in assessing and certifying the environmental quality of building materials and products and in assessing and managing the quality of living and working environments, with reference both to specific aspects (microclimate, indoor air quality, etc.) and to aspects of interaction between user and environment (usability, enjoyment, etc.), according to an ergonomic vision of environmental quality.
The unit is also engaged in the research and development of multi-criteria systems for the environmental assessment of the built environment.
