Three main topics for [[THL]] to assess in the [Mega case study]]:
==Scope==
* concentration change of outdoor-to-indoor pollutants due to insulation
** Stuttgart has basic data on buildings, both Northern and Southern Europe. They will send information about them.
** Estimates will be made by  THL about how fast the better insulation in buildings will change (rought estimate 1-2%/a of house stock gets improved)
*** Based on this, changes in ventilation will be estimated. Easiest is to calculate old and new/renovated buildings separately with high/low ventilation? Another aspect is incoming air filtration, which reduces some pollutants. How many houses are better insulated?
** Matti has building and heating information from several countries. In addition, Otto has done work on Finnish ventilation and insulation issues. Jouni will task with both of them.
** Jouni will check Ullas work on radon mould.
** Make sure that all relevant pollutants are included: formaldehyde, environmental tobacco smoke, radon, PM. do we have background concentrations? Jouni will talk with Matti.
** Who calculates the whole chain? THL based on Hilary's and Fintan's [[ERF]]s.
** The official MCS scenarios have insulation, marcus ustutt energy modeller has insulaton data. comes from
* wood burning more ->more pm?
** more wood burning as a source to indoor air
** cenral stoves vs open stoves in the room latter has high emissions to indoor air. marko
** look both indooor especially and outdoor emissions
** centel south europe
marko!
** 10 % in stuttgart comes from wood burning
* heat island
** get data from sandra emep grid hourly temp
stutt tells what can provide
