New Bauhaus MEP: Beauty of buildings should be reflected in good quality of life inside them
"Buildings can be beautiful and very high quality. But if it is not an inclusive building, it won’t be a New European Bauhaus house". Marcos Ros Sempere has been interviewed by EURACTIV to discuss about the philosophy behind the New European Bauhaus. This means that buildings should not just be sustainable and energy efficient, but also inclusive, meaning that everyone can afford them and that they provide well-being.

Innovating financial investment in energy efficiency
A total of 40 percent of energy consumption in the EU takes place within existing buildings thus retrofitting with energy efficiency measures could result in sizable impacts in the fight against climate change. The financial benefits of more efficient buildings are clear, but how can we attract further investment to these projects?

Webinar| Substituting Ventilation by Gas Phase Air Cleaning. An industry webinar
Worldwide, there is an increasing number of publications related to air cleaning and there is an increasing sale of gas phase air cleaning products. This puts a demand for verifying the influence of using air cleaning on indoor air quality, comfort, well-being and health. It is thus important to learn whether air cleaning can supplement ventilation with respect to improving air quality i.e. whether it can partly substitute the ventilation rates required by standards. There is also a need to evaluate the energy impact of using air cleaning as supplement to ventilation.
