The TAIL Index is a comprehensive indicator to assess the Indoor Environment Quality of buildings (IEQ). It was first developed to assess the IEQ in tertiary buildings undergoing deep energy renovation. In this study, we apply this methodology in four dwellings of a social housing building in order to assess the suitability of this indicator in this type of buildings. The results show a comprehensive picture of the IEQ of the building which is not usually obtained with other indicators, and allow the renovation measures to be prioritized. Several advantages and disadvantages of the methodology have been identified. In the end, several suggestions towards the improvement of this indicator in social housing buildings are given.
