It presents a series of established methods for examining the sustainability of adoption and assessing impacts on indoor air pollution, health, socio-economic conditions and the environment. The methods range from simple questionnaires to complex monitoring techniques: there are tools appropriate for most organisations. The catalogue outlines the process of developing an evaluation strategy and describes some of the practicalities of study design, ethics, analysis and reporting. The catalogue of methods will be published later this year. It will also be available online via the @HEDON link below.
