Quality of living
The quality of living at home has become increasingly important in recent years, both
for the general improvement of living conditions, which has greatly increased the needs,
and for the time spent daily by people inside buildings, which in many cases exceeds
90% of the total.
The combination of thermal, visual, acoustic comfort and indoor air quality is the disci-
pline that guides the design, construction and evaluation of contemporary buildings: it
is the concept known today as IEQ or Indoor Environmental Quality.
The quality of indoor environments has important relationships and effects with the
well-being experienced by end-users at the home, with productivity and health in the
workplace and with the energy performance and sustainability of buildings. Among the
four dimensions of IEQ, the climatic quality of the building - understood as the com-
bination of thermo-hygrometric conditions and air quality - is taken over by the HVAC
functions and is of fundamental importance for its energy implications.
