 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The focus of this proposal is to improve passengers’ comfort and well-being while fulfilling specific human needs in the treated case 'living environment in an airplane'. To address the individual passenger and her/his needs this will be done in the frame of an individual and innovative seat environment. Thus passengers’ choice with regard to comfort will be increased directly. Therefore, iSPACE will provide concepts and step-change technologies in order to reach a revolution in personalised passenger climate control. The overall aim of iSPACE is to provide aircraft manufacturers and suppliers with know how and innovations to address the individualisation of the cabin environment. This will ultimately provide a step-change in passenger comfort during flight. Furthermore, validated tools for the simulation of individualised cabin environment will be developed. The scientific and technological objectives of iSPACE are to: Develop concepts for individualisation of passenger cabin environment and prove its general feasibility. Develop and prove emerging step-change technologies for individualisation of passenger cabin environment. Provide simulation tools for individualised cabin environment and give recommendations for existing and future commercial aircraft. iSPACE is in line with former projects funded by the EC which investigated the cabin environment with a philosophy on human centred design. So far most of these projects did investigate the current status (HEACE) and/or studied the impact of environmental parameters on the human perception of cabin comfort (FACE, ICE). Recommendations for future technological developments are on the way to be set (ICE). Thus only fields of development have been explored and problems have been identified. One way of addressing these problems technologically is the individualisation of cabin environment. iSPACE follows this track and pushes the vision of individualisation of passenger cabin environment and comfort into reality.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

EU researchers are developing systems for aircraft that enable each passenger to set their in-flight climate according to their personal preference. Individual controls are necessary since degrees of environmental comfort vary considerably from passenger to passenger.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

On aircraft, the indoor climate is a frequent source of passenger complaints. Previous studies have looked into improving the cabin environment but have concentrated mainly on exploring the fields of development and identifying the problems associated with them.

A new approach is being taken by the 'Innovative systems for personalised aircraft cabin environment' (ISPACE) project, funded by the EU. The project's overall objective is to provide aircraft manufacturers and the supply industry with know-how and innovations to address the individualisation of passenger cabin environment. More particularly, project members are focusing on improving passenger comfort and well-being while responding to specific human needs.

Unique concepts and step-change technologies are being studied to achieve such a revolution in personalised climate control for passengers. Initially, ISPACE defined the specific demands and boundary conditions required for passengers to have a custom-controlled climate within aircraft cabins. Based on this, the project developed concepts that were then evaluated against the identified requirements; the technology solutions needed are currently under development.

On completion, the project will be able to present recommendations for utilising the new systems in both existing and future aircraft designs. Aircraft manufacturers will need reliable simulation tools such as those currently being developed and improved on throughout the duration of the project.

During the second half of the ISPACE project, the new system will be proven experimentally. Using environmental measurements and passenger questionnaires, the goal is to determine the critical control parameters and how well cabin climate can be individualised for each passenger.
