Abstract
We take buildings for granted, not realising how complex they – and especially their interior atmospheres – can be. We waste energy prodigiously, to maintain mediocre atmospheric quality, inadequate for many occupants; and we cannot detect pathogens to prevent us from inhaling them. Building systems do not respond to outdoor- and indoor-generated air pollution, to prevent ingress of pollutants from outside or efficient removal inside. We don’t have indoor air quality standards, and even if we had we could not enforce them because routine monitoring of air quality in every interior is still not feasible.
We need a profound change how we apply science, building engineering solutions and public health policies to create great indoor atmosphere. The presentation will explore how to make this vision a reality on Earth – and may be one day on Mars too!
