Un air de bonne qualité est l'une des exigences fondamentales nécessaires à un climat intérieur sain dans les habitations. Car, en définitive, il s'agit bien de protéger le mieux possible les occupants contre les variations du climat extérieur et de leur offrir un cadre de vie sain et confortable. Outre un bon confort thermique (pas trop chaud et pas trop froid), acoustique (protection contre les excès de bruit) et visuel (une lumière (du jour) suffisante, pas d'éblouissement), une qualité optimale de l'air est indispensable. 5, record 3, French, - climat%20int%C3%A9rieur
