Researchers from the architecture and environmental engineering faculty at the Wrocław University of Technology will examine the impact of building heating on air quality in Wrocław. The study will be financed by the Municipal Office in Wrocław.

This big problem facing Polish cities is so-called low emissions related to the combustion of solid fuels as hard coal, lignite, wood, eco-pea coal or biomass for heating buildings. Scientists from the University will start this year’s several-stage research to determine the density of heat sources for solid fuels depending on the characteristic parameters of buildings.

Researchers will check the actual operation of the heating installation, the area heated by a single source, the dynamics of the current changes in the method of housing heating and social attitudes towards the planned changes. In addition, field tests are to show the percentage of units equipped with smoke / carbon detectors.
