Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, poses a significant health risk as prolonged exposure indoors can lead to lung cancer. Current radon measurement techniques vary widely in methodology, device types, and exposure duration, posing challenges to ...
Radiant floor heating is widely recognized for its low-energy consumption and high efficiency. Traditional systems, however, typically heat the entire floor area within a space, conditioning spaces uniformly regardless of occupancy. This study investigates ...

Cities are facing unprecedented challenges to their environments and residents due to continuous growth, including urban overheating, daylight accessibility, noise, and air pollution. This requires a holistic approach to the research and implementation of ...
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has the potential to accumulate in buildings and over time, causes lung cancer in humans. Present methods for radon measurements are disparate, which pose challenges to benchmark radon concentrations and ...
Indoor air quality (IAQ) in classrooms significantly impacts the comfort, health, and cognitive performance of students and teachers. The COVID-19 pandemic heightened awareness of IAQ, leading to increasing adoption of mechanical ventilation systems in sch ...
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 authors regret to inform the editorial office about addition of an author, Mr. Marouane Merizak, to the list of authors. Revised order of authorship: Marouane Merizak a, Brandon Boor b,c, Dusan Licina a,* a Human-Oriented Built Environment Lab, School ...
Indoor environmental quality in buildings encompasses air quality, thermal environment, acoustics, and lighting. While engineering and health sciences have studied the impact of these attributes on occupants, a limited number of economic studies have inves ...
Although existing standards typically prescribe fixed ventilation rates, a large portion of the building stock lacks mechanical ventilation systems. Such buildings obtain outdoor air through unintentional infiltration, open windows, and the operation of ex ...
