Residential ventilative cooling via natural ventilation is influenced by outdoor air pollution. However, relative to climate, outdoor air pollution is not comprehensively considered in determining the ventilative cooling potential of buildings. To assess t ...
As humans spend most of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) significantly impacts their health. In parallel, building ventilation consumes significant energy, contributing to climate change. However, the relationships between the building ventilat ...
Ozone and its oxidation products are increasingly recognized as significant health hazards. Understanding population exposure is critical for linking ozone and its products to health outcomes. This study used outdoor ozone concentrations from 47 monitoring ...
The fundamental goal of building ventilation is to provide indoor conditions conducive to occupant health with low energy use. However, given the dynamic interplay of indoor and outdoor environmental conditions, there is limited knowledge on benchmarking h ...
Human inhalation exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), including the PM2.5 of outdoor origin, predominantly occurs indoors. To limit outdoor PM2.5 penetration into buildings, ventilation standards often require the filtration of outdoor air with a m ...
When designed and operated adequately, natural ventilation (NV) can improve the buildings' energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality. There is a plethora of factors that limit the effectiveness of NV, such as the climate, surrounding buildings, no ...
