Use of the EcoEffect-questionnaire

A questionnaire is an important part of assessment of the indoor environment of existing buildings.

The questionnaires has been developed form the so called Stockholm questionnaire which has been extensively used. The EcoEffect questionnaire has the also the potential to identify sick buildings. It exist today in three versions, one for houses, one for offices and the last one for schools. With minor changes it can also be used for other types of buildings. A great advantage with the Eco- and Stockholm questionnaires is that a large statistical comparison material exists. At the moment the questionnaires are only in Swedish.

The EcoEffect questionnaire is one of the questionnaires used for MIBB in Sweden (environmental inventory of existing buildings) which is supported by the large building owners in Sweden.
