Sisäympäristöolosuhteiden

Sisäympäristöohjelma translates to Indoor Environment Programme in English. It is a Finnish national program focused on improving the quality of indoor environments in buildings. The program aims to promote health, well-being, and productivity by addressing various factors that affect indoor air quality, thermal comfort, lighting, and acoustics.

The Sisäympäristöohjelma involves a broad range of stakeholders, including government ministries, research institutions, businesses, and building users. Its activities encompass research and development, information dissemination, education, and the creation of guidelines and recommendations. The program also supports the development of new technologies and practices for indoor environment management.

Key areas of focus within the Sisäympäristöohjelma include identifying and mitigating sources of indoor air pollution, such as building materials, furniture, and human activities. It also addresses the importance of adequate ventilation, moisture control, and the prevention of mold growth. Thermal comfort, ensuring appropriate temperature and humidity levels, is another significant aspect. Furthermore, the program considers the impact of lighting, both natural and artificial, on occupant comfort and performance, as well as acoustic conditions to minimize noise disturbances.

The overarching goal of the Sisäympäristöohjelma is to create healthier, more comfortable, and more sustainable indoor spaces for all people in Finland. This contributes to public health by reducing respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues associated with poor indoor environments. By improving indoor conditions, the program also seeks to enhance the overall quality of life and working conditions for building occupants.
