Indoor Air Quality, Healthy Buildings, and Breathing Walls By: J.F. Straube and V. Acahrya Indoor air quality is an important issue from both a social and economic point of view. There are several design strategies that can be used to deliver good IAQ. Controlled ventilation, proper design, and the use of appropriate healthy building materials can provide good indoor air quality if used in as part of a holistic design approach. As part of a complete IAQ design strategy, so-called breathing walls can moderate indoor humidity and practically eliminate the potential for fungal growth on building surfaces. This paper reviews the three basic design strategies for IAQ, and the role of breathing walls. The physics of breathing walls are discussed, and the ways in which such walls can improve IAQ are outlined. A research program directed at exploring the properties of low-density cement-bonded wood fibre (Durisol) is described. The research included material tests, field monitoring of full-scale walls, and computer modelling. Some results of this research are presented and discussed. Supported by calculations and field data, it is concluded that IAQ can be greatly improved by using a holistic approach to building design. Breathing walls made of vapour permeable and highly hygroscopic materials, such as Durisol and strawbales, can enhance IAQ when used in conjunction with other strategies.

The Residential Energy Efficiency Database (REED) WE ARE VERY SORRY, BUT REED IS NOW CLOSED. To the millions of people that use REED, we are very sorry, but we cannot continue to provide this website as a free public service. Our reason for closing is simple, REED was built and is supported entirely by our small family business and we can no longer afford, nor are we willing to continue the upkeep, development and expansion of REED. Although the website has won many awards in the last three years and is used by millions of individuals, educational institutes, businesses, and governments worldwide, we have been unable to find any organizations willing to help financially support REED as a free public service. We have received offers to buy the website, unfortunately none that would agree to continue the development and expansion of REED as a free public information service.

Home Welcome to Atmosphere Environment Australia has taken decisive measures in recent years to protect the atmosphere, and will continue working to improve the quality of air in urban areas and to ensure the recovery of the ozone layer. Environment Australia's standards for air quality, whether already established or under development, represent world best practice in dealing with the threat air pollution poses to our health. The focus in now on fuel quality and vehicle emissions, transport options that reduce pollution without impacting on access and mobility, management of wood heater emissions and the monitoring and management of fine particle pollution. Air quality issues confronting our towns and cities are being addressed through a comprehensive package of programmes underpinned by research and public education. One such initiative is the Air Pollution in Major Cities Programme which is funded under the Natural Heritage Trust.
