CabinAir
is one of the largest and most important studies to be carried out
on the environment in aircraft cabins. Funded under the
EC 5th
Framework Programme and co-ordinated by BRE, the
project is investigating the issue of air quality in commercial passenger
aircraft and will develop technical solutions that will enable the
industry to provide an enhanced environment for passengers and cabin
crew. Most importantly, it will develop European Pre-Normative Standards.
CabinAir will run for three years, from January 2001 to December 2003.

CabinAir Consortium
The team of partners known as the CabinAir Consortium
includes representatives from 16 organisations, across seven nations:
air framers
systems manufacturers
engine manufacturers
airlines
certification bodies
aviation health
environmental research groups
the European Commission.

CabinAir will realise three major achievements:
further the industry's understanding of air quality issues
foster new technology
draft European Pre-Normative Standards.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
On a more detailed level it will:
assess the current level of air quality found in aircraft cabins
produce comprehensive information on the relationship between
cabin air quality and:
the performance of environmental control and filtration systems
air distribution
energy consumption
the environmental impact of fuel burn
develop innovative designs and technical solutions to improve
ECS and cabin air distribution/control systems
minimise fuel consumption and environmental impacts
develop performance specifications
draft European Pre-Normative Standards.
