    • Did you know that the air inside our homes can be up to five times more polluted than the air outdoors? Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a vital role in creating safe, comfortable, and sustainable living environments. Join us for an engaging session where we’ll unpack what indoor air quality really means, why it matters for housing, and how various factors—from building materials to ventilation—can influence it. We’ll also explore practical strategies to improve IAQ and enhance the quality of our indoor spaces.

    • Saviez-vous que l’air à l’intérieur de nos maisons peut être cinq fois plus pollué que l’air extérieur? La qualité de l’air intérieur (QAI) est essentielle pour créer des milieux de vie sûrs, confortables et durables. Joignez-vous à nous pour une séance intéressante où nous examinerons ce que signifie réellement la QAI, son importance dans les logements et les divers facteurs ‒ allant des matériaux de construction à la ventilation ‒ qui peuvent l’influencer. Nous examinerons aussi des stratégies pratiques pour améliorer la QAI et la qualité de nos espaces intérieurs.
