Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools is associated with impacts on pupils’ health and learning performance. We aimed to identify the factors that affect IAQ primary schools. The following objectives were set: (a) develop a questionnaire assess prevalence of schools, (b) conduct content validity questionnaire, (c) Slovenian Based systematic literature review, we developed new conducted its v...

Spatial contaminant distribution in large semiopen building areas such as sports arenas, warehouses, atriums, malls and other industrial halls is critical to estimating exposure, health risks and building energy performance. It is considered a challenge to measure experimentally how effectively the ventilation system removes or dilutes the pollutant in a large open space, taking into considerat...

This article studies a scalable control method for multizone heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems to optimize the energy cost maintaining thermal comfort (TC) indoor air quality (IAQ) (represented by CO 2 ) simultaneously. problem is computationally challenging due complex s...

Increased wildland fire activity is producing extreme fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations impacting millions of people every year, especially in the western United States (US). Recommendations for limiting exposure to PM2.5 and associated adverse health outcomes focus on staying inside, closing windows doors, increasing filtration; however, relatively little known about indoor air qu...

Abstract. Homogeneous reactivity has been extensively studied in recent years through outdoor air-quality simulations. However, indoor atmospheres are known to be largely influenced by another type of chemistry, which is their with surfaces. Despite progress the understanding heterogeneous reactions, such reactions remain barely integrated into numerical models. In this paper, a room-scale, (IA...

Humans spend the majority of their time indoors, where they are potentially exposed to hazardous pollutants. Within this context, over past few years, there has been an upsurge low-cost sensors (LCS) for measurement indoor air pollutants, motivated both by recent technological advances and increased awareness quality (IAQ) its potential negative health impacts. Although not meeting performance ...

Children under 15 years spend over six hours per day in school buildings and are particularly vulnerable to the effects of poor indoor air quality (IAQ). However long-term monitoring environmental conditions is limited Australian schools. This study evaluates IAQ ten classrooms temperate settings Victoria. Temperature, relative humidity, CO2 concentration, PM2.5 PM10 were monitored a period one...
