Patrice Blondeau

Patrice Blondeau is a Teacher-Researcher at the University of La Rochelle, active in the fields of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), materials and pollutant interactions, and building energy performance. He contributes to national and international programs like PRIMEQUAL and ClimACT, focusing on ventilation strategies, pollutant purification, and modeling of indoor environments.

• Member of the Scientific Council of the Indoor Air Quality Observatory (OQAI)
• President of the 2007 RSEIN/OQAI conference on IAQ in Housing

His research explores optimal ventilation, VOC emissions, pollutant-material interactions, and innovative air purification systems. Key articles analyze formaldehyde sources in schools, HONO formation mechanisms, and zonal airflow modeling. Collaborations include institutions like CNRS, University of Angers, and National School of Public Works.

While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, his work impacts policy through roles in technical councils. He develops simulation tools for pollutant transfer and contributes to standardized testing methods for air cleaners.
