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?

9. 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 (?)
