Software and database developed within the EU project Hope

The database is designed both to contain the data collected in a standard format, and to perform analysis of the data to a standard level, e.g. calculation of pre-defined parameters as Building Symptom Index.

HoDa contains the building information: a list of buildings, the checklist information and the questionnaire data. Checklist data is entered in five tabbed sections: description of the building, services, mechanical ventilation, use and energy, and information on individual apartments where appropriate. Questionnaire data were coded in advance and entered in standard format for offices and for homes.
