Abstract
Under the ambitious acronym PERFECTION a new European coordination action has been launched. The project aims, via the development of an interoperable framework for performance indicators, at enabling the application of appropriate building design and technologies to improve the impact of the indoor built environment on health, comfort, feeling of safety, accessibility and positive stimulation.
A review of performance indicators currently used in design, construction and use will be undertaken. Areas where new indicators for health and safety (including accessibility and indoor environmental quality) should be developed will be defined. Recommendations for building design and technologies will be formulated in line with European directives on construction products and on energy building performance of buildings, the European environment & health action plan, the European green public procurement policies and the recently launched Lead Market Initiative on Sustainable Construction. A support tool should guide the use of correct indicators for a given context.
The project is carried out at an EU scale and the project results will reach every EU country. Next to 11 key partners, a great number of so called network partners representing industry from SMEs to LSEs, academia and research, will actively contribute to the common goal.
