Health and energy quality of renovations

**_OBJECTIVES OF ETUDE_** Building high-performance buildings and supporting the massification of energy renovation are priorities to combat climate change and energy poverty. This implies the commitment of all the players in the sector, as well as to provide security and confidence in the energy performance actually achieved and on the ability of professionals to build healthy, comfortable and sustainable buildings. Experience feedback addressing simultaneously the issues of sanitary quality, environmental comfort and energy consumption are rare. Yet the achievement of ambitious levels of energy performance can conflict with the quality of the indoor environment by altering the comfort of the occupant or the quality of indoor air. The PROFEEL programme’s Health and Energy Renovation (QSE) project aims to shed light on the impact of energy renovation works on the overall performance of renovations. Based on the experimental monitoring of 29 residential buildings that have been renovated or renovated for 1 to 3 years, the study assessed their overall performance using protocols using reference methods. **_DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA GAME_** The dataset made available covers 37 housing units and provides information on the characteristics of buildings and their systems, renovation work carried out, events leading to mould occurrence, detection of active fungal activity (Moularat et al, 2008) and pollutant concentration measurements. These measurements were carried out before and after the energy renovation work for part of the dataset (Panel 1) or were measured only after the energy renovation work (Panel 2). Of the 37 dwellings, 28 are on panel 1 and 9 of panel 2. The pollutants measured are: — Volatile organic compounds: 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-ethylhexanol (or 2-ethyl-1-hexanol), alpha-pinene, benzene, ethylbenzene, hexane, limonene, m-xylenes, o-xylene, p-xylenes, beta-pinene, styrene, toluene; — Aldehydes: acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, hexaldehyde; — NO2; — PM2.5; — Radon. **_DESCRIPTION OF FILES SET TO DISPOSITION_** Four files are downloadable. They make it possible to contextualise the dataset, promote its understanding and facilitate its handling: — DonneesQSE_V1.csv: this file contains the dataset. The ‘NA’ modality for ‘Not available’ means an empty data; — Dico_DonneesQSE_V0: this file contains the thesaurus of the dataset; — Metadata_FR_21032022_QSE_V1.xlsx: this file shall contain all meta data enabling the dataset to be described; — QSE_MAD_dones_en_V1.doc: this file contains the description of the study in French.
