Happy #WorldVentil8day ! Why should you work in the #ventilation industry? Here are 6 reasons from our Swedish member Plåt & Ventföretagen: - A social activity! Ventilation work means meeting many people. You work closely with the customer but also together with other professional groups. - You get to work with your hands! It is a practical and challenging job where you get to create something and work with problem-solving. - Freedom with responsibility! Once you become experienced in the profession, there is great freedom to plan and carry out your work independently. Many ventilation installers have their own service vehicles and function as their own supervisors. - Varied tasks and environments! Sometimes you work with new constructions and install large ducts, and sometimes you are at someone’s home replacing a kitchen fan. - Be part of contributing to a sustainable and healthy future! High electricity prices and economic downturns have led to a high demand for energy efficiency. Good indoor air quality is getting more and more attention. So, it’s fun to be part of building for the future. - Definitely a safe and secure career choice! --------------------------- Annika Brännmark Michael Mattes Harald Rankl VTGA - Verband der technischen Gebäudeausrüster Vincent Vancaeyzeele Carole Metzmacker Kris Van Dingenen  Techlink  Chamber of Installation Specialists in Bulgaria  Nina Nikolova   Troels Blicher Danielsen  Søren Schmidt TEKNIQ Arbejdsgiverne Andreas Hannibal Schelbeck Adam McMillan Mikkelsen LVI-Tekniset Urakoitsijat LVI-TU ry I Finnish Association of HVAC Technical Contractors Mika Hokkanen Mika Nikula Eamon McGrattan  Denise Tuffy  Scott M  Construction Industry Federation (CIF)    Fédération des Artisans  Sarah Oestreicher  Remco van der Linden Techniek Nederland  Techniek Nederland  Judith van Heeswijk Michiel Krijvenaar Esther Dijk-Osseweijer Marianne Røiseland  Eli Hermine Heyerdahl Eide Rørentreprenørene Norge Beata Korduszewska  OSFIS Damian Bil Artur Paliwoda Paweł Kaczmarek

🚨 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.
