Abstract
When designing the Finnish Allergy House it was decided
to use classified materials in order to reach a good
indoor air quality. The IAQ measurements were started
after inauguration. The emission measurements (TVOC,
ammonia and formaldehyde) were performed in two rooms; in
room 1 (a concrete floor cast on the site) and in room 2
(a cored concrete slab). The effect of outdoor air on IAQ
was also determined. Using low-emitted materials (M1
classified) the IAQ reached S1 class after inauguration.
The specific emission rate (SER) of the installed vinyl
floor covering was higher during the first weeks of
installation when installed on the concrete structure
than in the classification measurement, but reached the
classification value in 6 months, and the planned S1
class in IAQ was reached the planned S1-class value
within 2 months.
