Task 1 Selection of relevant schools - Step 1: EU in 4 clusters based on: -Country’s overall climate (winter T, summer T, RH) -Geographical location - Step 2: In each cluster: -Inventory of reported data on IAQ at school (≥ 2007) per country -Quantity and quality of the data sufficient? - Step 3: Main study vs case study participation per cluster: -Need for more knowledge on IAQ at school in that country/cluster?

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools - Step 1: Identification of clusters Cluster 1 Cluster 2 Cluster 3 Cluster 4 Cluster 1: Northern Europe -Cold climate, cold winters -Large differences old vs new buildings ; Well insulated rooms, ventilation systems (Norway, Sweden, Finland) Cluster 2: Central Europe -Moderate climate, moderately cold winters -Differences old vs new buildings (ventilation, insulation, passive and low energy construction) Cluster 3: Eastern Europe -Colder climate, cold winters -Moderate to low insulation no ventilation systems (?) Cluster 4: Southern Europe -Warm, warmer winters Mediterranean climate -Moderate to low insulation -Ventilation?

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools - Step 2: In each cluster -Inventory of reported data on IAQ at school (≥ 2007) per country (WP2) -Quantity and quality of the data? TO BE COMPLETED

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools - Step 3: Distribution main studies vs case studies per cluster Main study of max 120 schools Main study in 24 countries For each cluster a minimal participation in the main study Main study ‘weight’ is equal to case study ‘weight’

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools - Step 3: Distribution main studies vs case studies per cluster Is there a need for more data on IAQ at school in a country of cluster x?

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools - Step 3: Distribution main studies vs case studies per cluster Is there a need for more data on IAQ at school in a country of cluster x? –Representative quantity of data available? –IAQ assessment in at least 20 schools since 2007? –IAQ assessment in more than 1 room per school?

Task 1 Selection of relevant schools - Step 3: Distribution main studies vs case studies per cluster Is there a need for more data on IAQ at school in a country of cluster x? –Representative quantity of data available? –IAQ assessment in at least 20 schools since 2007? –IAQ assessment in more than 1 room per school? –Representative quality of data available? –Fieldwork based on validated methods? –Fieldwork with respect to ISO 16000? –Standardised methods? –SINPHONIE pollutants included?
