Six years ago today the term #LongCovid was first used as a Twitter hashtag. A single tweet by a patient linked together a growing grassroots movement of people, who weren't recovering from covid. Across the world, we're still fighting for research and treatment of our disease

The EU’s New EPBD: Why Indoor Air Quality Needs a Unified Standard
The recently updated Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a pivotal legislative framework aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings across the European Union. While its primary focus remains on energy savings and decarbonization, the revised EPBD now formally recognizes the crucial link between energy performance and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). This update requires member states to address IEQ in their national legislation, ensuring that energy-efficient buildings also support the health, comfort, and well-being of their occupants.
