Summary

For the establishment of basic requirements and needs a different view on indoor environment quality (IEQ) is required. An integrated approach towards risk assessment of IEQ, in which the focus is on real exposure situations rather than only on single components, will form the basis for creating healthy and comfortable indoor environments. Additional, a multidisciplinary interactive top-down approach is required to facilitate the design, construction, maintenance and operation of an indoor environment, in which the architect as well as the other stakeholders fulfil a new or different role. It is important to accept that IEQ is a multi-level, multi-factor and multi-stakeholders issue, therefore cooperation is a must.
