An Assessment of Health Risk Factors

The stock of buildings in the European Union is relatively old, with more than 40% of it built before 1960 and 90% before 1990. About 75% of the buildings are energy inefficient. According to legislation on energy efficiency, strategic action plans for the improvement of the energy performance of buildings have been accepted. However, current activities are mainly focused on increasing the thermal performance of building envelope systems, building airtightness, and energy-efficient mechanical systems.
