The Challenge

• To develop a comprehensive review of the State of the Indoor Environment in Canada.

• To identify promising voluntary approaches for promoting the creation of healthier indoor environments in Canada.

Our Approach

CULLBRIDGE was invited by Pollution Probe to co-author this report. Together, we secured funding and participation from key government and industry organizations, and carried out the project. The resulting report included:

• An In-depth review of the legal aspects of indoor air quality

• An analysis of market drivers and barriers

• An in-depth review of twenty carefully selected voluntary initiatives

• Expert interviews

• An analysis of barriers and key elements for success

• A proposal for a national strategy emphasizing voluntary initiatives

Collaborators

This was a joint project of CULLBRIDGE and Pollution Probe / the Summerhill Group.  We also appreciate the contribution of Joseph Castrilli in reviewing relevant legal aspects.

Impact

This project provided the foundation for the Healthy Indoors Partnership, a national, multi-stakeholder partnership for creating healthy indoor environments in Canada.
