FOR CITATION: Indoor air pollution sources (particularly Skunk) and their impacts on health and the environment in the Occupied Palestinian Territories,” In: M.F. Yassin (Ed.), “Proceeding of Workshop on Air Quality in Hot Arid Climate... more
This paper describes commercial building indoor air quality practices and then discusses them in the context of total building environmental performance. “Green buildings” generally have included some effort to address indoor air quality... more
This research assesses the effect of outdoor parameters, including solar radiation and shading and glazing configurations, on indoor thermal comfort and air quality in multi-purpose halls in Auckland, New Zealand. The Design of experiment... more
Das Auftreten von unangenehmen oder unbekannten Gerüchen in Innenräumen wird von den Nutzern oftmals mit der Besorgnis einer Gesundheitsgefährdung assoziiert. Daher können Gerüche aufgrund der ausgelösten Stressreaktion auch ohne... more
Current difficulties surrounding air conditioning systems involve an increase in input air aimed at improving indoor air quality (IAQ), the financial costs arising from energy consumption and external environmental impact, linked to the... more
This study was carried out to provide an overview of the fungal load in Algerian traditional baths (Hammams) as well as to isolate and identify the main pathogenic fungi. Over a period of four months, ten baths were... more
IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (ICE) is a recently developed tool for simulation of thermal comfort, indoor air quality and energy consumption in buildings. It covers a range of advanced phenomena such as integrated airflow and thermal... more
The subject of this paper is about an analysis of the challenges to make this complex sector more sustainable in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. The regional economic, social and environmental characteristics are presented.... more
The study compared IAQ, thermal quality, and lighting quality between 5 different office types in LEED-certified buildings in relation to employees' environmental satisfaction and their job performance. This was to provide workplaces... more
The recent mining boom in the Northwest of Western Australia had lead to the region experiencing some of the highest rates of growth anywhere in the world. This recent increase in mining activity was in the wake of 10-15 years of lesser... more
The promotion of good indoor air quality in schools is of particular public concern for two main reasons: (1) school-age children spend at least 30% of their time inside classrooms and (2) indoor air quality in urban areas is... more
The use of solar chimneys in buildings is one way to increment natural ventilation and, as a consequence, to improve indoor air quality. They are similar to conventional chimneys except that the south wall is replaced by a glazing. In... more
A comprehensive peer-reviewed standard of care document addressing the identification, management, and remediation of indoor mould. Over 40 authors from academia, consulting, and government participated in writing this document,... more
The term air quality means the state of the air around us. Good air quality refers to clean, clear, unpolluted air. Clean air is essential to maintain delicate balance of life. Poor air quality occurs when pollutants reach high enough... more
The main goal of this paper is to present a set of well-defined and structured procedures to establish guidelines for the application of an integrated assessment of energy performance and indoor climate in schools. Increasing the... more
Building design, construction methodology and the choice of internal materials can have a significant impact on the final outcome of a habitable building. The rise in popularity of overseas built / prefabricated modular buildings is... more
