Breath IN Project – towards a better and sustainable indoor air quality environment

More than 90% of one’s lifespan is spent in closed environments therefore indoor air pollution may pose a serious threat to health. The Higher Education Institutions (HEI) sector represents a unique environment, for faculty members, and a learning environment for students. BREATH IN aims to promote awareness, exchange best practices, develop skills, create a Living lab to experience indoor air quality impact, introduce eco-friendly and green practices, and propose a sustainable environment roadmap.
