🚨 Good Indoor Air Quality Must Become a Basic Human Right: Launch of the IAQ Manifesto 🚨 Today, we are proud to launch our joint industry manifesto advocating for good indoor air quality (IAQ) as a basic human right. Alongside our co-signatories, we emphasise the vital importance of IAQ for health, the economy, and future generations. We call on EU policymakers to: - Recognise access to good quality air (including indoor air) as a basic human right. - Give as high importance to “indoor air quality” as “ambient air quality” in EU legislation. - Screen all EU policies and make ambitious proposals to ensure better IAQ in Europe. The manifesto is co-signed by AMCA Europe, AREA, European Partnership for Energy and the Environment (EPEE), European Ventilation Industry Association, Eurovent, REHVA, and GCP EUROPE. We invite other like-minded organisations to join us in pushing for better IAQ policies in Europe. --> Read our press release: https://lnkd.in/eDQB7-9Z #IAQ #IndoorAirQuality #PublicHealth #EU #Sustainability #Healthyliving #EuropeanPolicy #EnvironmentalHealth

🚀 Join us on June 10th, 2024, in Brussels or online, for this Sustainable Energy Day #EUSEW2024 focusing on #Indoor #Environmental #Quality (#IEQ) and the #revised #Energy #Performance of #Buildings #Directive (#EPBD)! 🌱🏢 Renovation is a priority on the European legislative agenda to boost energy efficiency and create healthy, comfortable, and productive environments for all Europeans. However, with current renovation rates between 0.4% and 1.2% annually, we must double this to at least 3% to meet our 2050 climate and energy goals. This represents a golden opportunity, as 97% of EU buildings need renovation! 🕑 14:00–15:30 Session 1 (90 minutes) ☕ 15:30–16:30 Networking Coffee & Sweets (60 minutes) 🕟 16:30–18:00 Session 2 (90 minutes) 🍷 18:00–20:00 Networking Drinks & Walking Dinner (120 minutes) Our two sessions will address enhancing Indoor Environmental Quality as a key pillar of building performance amidst the drive for energy efficiency. This is a crucial opportunity to transform unhealthy buildings into healthy spaces, aligning with the revised EPBD. Be sure to capture this chance to be part of the conversation and network with top experts in the field! 🌍🔋💡 👉 Register now and let's make a difference together! https://lnkd.in/eYFqFqp9 👈 This event kick-starts the series of events #Building #Life #Quality, dedicated to improving the Indoor Environmental Quality through sustainable practices and innovative solutions.

Ett år med innleieforbud har økt risiko, gitt høyere priser, mindre fleksibilitet og skapt større usikkerhet for alle arbeidstakere - også for dem som pendler fra utlandet. Politikk betyr noe - men konsekvensene blir ikke alltid slik en håper. @Leif Øi Tore Bakke Jens Løvås Knut Jensen Knut Jarle Kvaløy og Anders Henriksen for å dele sine erfaringer med Anna Irene Molberg og Hilde Hvaal Durban - og takk for at vi ble tatt godt imot!Rørentreprenørene Norge

Tyle lat, a ja nadal mam zielone serce 💚💚💚
#PowerWomenofGEBO | Przedstawiamy Wam: Beatę! 🤩 Kiedy mówimy o Silnych Kobietach w GEBO nie możemy pominąć Beaty. 💚 Pracuje z nami już 15 lat. Dzięki swojej pracowitości i ogromnemu zaangażowaniu w życie firmy oraz w rozwój branży instalacyjnej w Polsce, przeszła długą drogę od Asystentki w dziale sprzedaży aż do Prezesa spółki. Otwarta na nowe wyzwania, zawsze chętna do dalszego rozwoju i działania. 😎 Radą Beaty dla kobiet chcących rozpocząć pracę w branży instalacyjnej jest: "Wbrew pozorom w naszej branży jest sporo kobiet, aczkolwiek raczej w dystrybucji i u producentów, a nie w gronie wykonawców. Na pewno kobieta musi być otwarta na pracę z mężczyznami, przydają się kompetencje techniczne i matematyczne. Najczęściej uśmiech i chęć niesienia pomocy są wystarczające na początek." #gebo #dzieńkobiet
