Sustainable building design, such as the Passivhaus standard, seeks to minimise energy consumption, while improving indoor environmental comfort. Very few studies have studied air quality (IAQ) in homes outside of Europe. This paper presents particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon dioxide (CO2), and total volatile organic compounds (tVOC) measurements first residential Latin America. It compares the...

Vehicular emission is a major environmental health problem in the world today especially developing countries including Nigeria. This study was centered on assessing vehicular emissions pollutants such as Carbon monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Formaldehyde (HCHO) and Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) Benin City, Edo State, The sampling of CO H2S gaseous done using H-4S gas analyzer...

Bake-out with dilution ventilation is a potential technology that can shorten emission cycle of indoor VOCs and other hazardous gas, and then reduce indoor environment pollution brought forward by building materials. This technology based on characteristic that chemical substance of building materials is easier to emit under high temperature. This paper used numerical value method to compute TV...

In this paper, the design and development of a Building Energy and Environment Monitoring System (BEEMS) for smart campus applications is proposed. The system is implemented based on distributed sensor nodes using ZigBee technology, which empowers the collection and monitoring of various types of measurements that reflect the energy consumption and environmental status of buildings. These param...

bake-out was executed against the newly constructed apartment buildings using two methods to find out the effect of improvement on the indoor air quality and identify the concentration changes in the indoor air by the bake-out method for 3 months after occupancy. from two methods of bake-out executed before occupying, we did not find any reduction effect on the hazardous substances in the indoo...

This study aimed to investigate the association between traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) exposure and histone H3 modification among school children in high-traffic (HT) low-traffic (LT) areas Malaysia. Respondents’ background information personal traffic sources were obtained from questionnaires distributed randomly selected children. Real-time monitoring instruments used for 6-h measuremen...
