Ventilation and the Built Environment: Where Do We Stand?

Welcome back to Air Quality Matters! In this episode, I sat down with Tim Sharp, Head of Architecture at the University of Strathclyde, to discuss ventilation in the UK and how well our homes and buildings are equipped to handle modern air quality demands. It’s a crucial topic as we try to balance energy efficiency with healthier indoor spaces.

Tim is a seasoned expert, deeply involved in shaping standards and policy for ventilation and air quality. With affiliations spanning SAGE, NICE, and the WHO, he brought a wealth of insight into our wandering, thought-provoking conversation. Below, I’ve summarized the key takeaways from our discussion.
