The project objectives are:

1. To better understand the building-user interaction, and improve it
2. To improve indoor air quality starting from the removal of indoor pollutants
3. To study new control and design strategies for the aeraulic system
4. To promote natural ventilation and mixed mode in residential buildings
5. To ensure the highest levels of indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption
6. To define a home IEQ monitoring and control system

The themes proposed by this project respond to the need (highlighted by the Free University of Bolzano) for giving more space to areas of research and innovation in which it is needed to build the necessary critical mass. In particular, the proposed themes fall within the sector of provincial specialization called "Energy and Environment", and the project aims to deliver the following results:

1. New IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) monitoring system
2. Categorization of the major indoor pollution sources, and dissemination at the provincial level
3. Development of a system for controlled natural ventilation
4. New machine and new strategies for residential mechanical ventilation (VMC)
5. Control system capable of coordinating different systems and guiding the user: the residential "building management system" (BMS)
