Chairs

Aarhus University, Denmark
Demetrios Moschandreas djm@iit.edu
Illinois Institute of Technology, USA

Aim and scope
An ISIAQ task force will develop the existing draft and the end-product is a published IAQ vocabulary of about 2-400 lemma words (estimated 50 pages) (paperback and CD).
            
The most important definitions will be further disseminated through Indoor Air Journal or subsequently through conference workshops.

The general scope is to communicate definitions interdiciplinary, not to make in-detail scientific descriptions.

The indoor air science research area includes the following groups:
a. IAQ - workers
b. Practitioners
c. Engineers
d. Scientists
e. Regulators
f. Health and Biological persons

Work of task force
    1/9 2001    Assignments of definitions for task force members to take care of
    1/12 2001    Identification of missing definitions for IAJ by task force members
    1/6 2002    Task force responses to editors

Status    This is planned TF
