Indoor Air Quality Assessment

This lecture covers the assessment methods for indoor air quality, including mathematical modeling, numerical simulations, wind tunnel, and scaled models. It discusses post-occupancy evaluation, occupant satisfaction in buildings, and the importance of accurate modeling for airborne pollutants. The lecture also delves into the use of low-cost IAQ monitors, subjective assessments through occupancy surveys, and challenges faced in assessing IAQ. Various tools and techniques for objective and subjective measurements are explored, along with the factors influencing building occupant satisfaction. The session concludes with an in-class exercise on IAQ assessment strategies.
