Abstract

Dette projekt er udarbejdet af et team afgangsstuderende på linjen Industriel Design på Aalborg Universitet i løbet af foråret 2016. Fokus under dette projekt har været på indeklima samt lutkvalitet. Projektet udsprang i fugt komplikationer men ændrede retning, da teamet blev bevidste om usynlige og alvorligere parametre som flygtige organiske stoffer, kuldioxid samt fine parikler. Disse parametre er alle usynlige og det er utroligt svært at afgøre hvorvidt niveauet af de pågældende er indenfor den humane komfort zone eller forhøjet, hvilket kan lede til alvorlig forringelse af den individuelles helbred. Projektet er baseret på ekspert viden, tests foretaget af teamets medlemmer, mock-ups, interviews, undersøgelser samt begrundet data fra anerkendte forskere. Resultatet er et multifunktionelt møbel, der renser luten ved at anvende naturlige elementer som planter og akivt bambus kul. Produktet henvender sig til enhver der er interesseret i at forbedre indeklimaet – til brug i det private samt det offentlige.

This project is developed by a team of final year students from Industrial Design at Aalborg University during the spring of 2016. Focus during this project has been on indoor climate and air quality. The project took departure from humidity problems men changed direction when the team discovered the invisible and even more dangerous parameters as volatile organic compounds, CO2 and particulate matter. These parameters are all invisible and it is very hard to determine whether the level is in the human comfort zone or above, which can cause severe health affections. The project is based on expert knowledge, test performed by the members of the team, mock-ups, interviews, surveys and validated data from well acknowledged scientists. The result is a multi-functional furniture, which cleans the air by using natural elements as plants and activated bamboo charcoal. The product addresses to anyone who are interested in improving the indoor climate - for use private and public use.
