The Swedish Chapter of ISIAQ (SWESIAQ) wins the Big Indoor Climate Prize of 2013

SWESIAQ1      SWESIAQ2

The Swedish Big Indoor Climate Prize was founded in 2001 by the “Slussen” Building Services in cooperation with three big Swedish technical branch organizations for Energy and Environment, Ventilation and Cooling. The prize aims at focusing the attention towards technical solutions for better indoor climate and energy saving buildings. The prize is to be given to a company or an organization working with indoor climate, energy or ventilation and having developed an important product, service or methodology with good opportunities to be of practical use.

On April 3, 2014 the prize for 2013 was given to SWESIAQ for its systematic method for indoor climate investigations - “SWESIAQ-modellen”.  This was the first time the prize was not given to a company for a technical product but to an organization for a methodology. The jury consists of representatives for the three branch organizations with its chairman Lars Ekberg (andra från vänster) and was handed over by the Swedish State´s Secretary Anders Flanking (till höger). SWESIAQ was represented by its chairman Anders Lundin (till vänster).

The jury´s motivation was (abbreviated):
SWESIAQ is an important forum for cooperation between researchers and practitioners. The prize is given for the SWESIAQ systematic method for investigating indoor environment problems and for the organization´s important spreading of knowledge about indoor climate and health. By following “SWESIAQ-modellen”, the probability of finding the real cause of indoor climate problems is augmented. Unfortunately, it is too common that indoor climate investigations not following “SWESIAQ-modellen” are focusing on the wrong things. “SWESIAQ-modellen” is a tool that will contribute to a higher degree of seriosity among indoor climate investigators.
