Evaluating indoor air quality in buildings
Evaluating indoor air quality in buildings
Indoor air quality plays a vital role in maintaining the health, comfort and well-being of building occupants. This report compares indoor PM2.5 and CO2 data, outdoor PM2.5 and NO2 data and weather station data against existing guidelines to analyse the differences in air quality between rooms and the potential causes of these conditions, in addition to explaining comparisons between pollutants and the frequency distribution of pollutant concentrations and exploring the possible causes. After illustrating the main findings, the building is modeled using DesignBuilder and the recommended interventions are found, briefly exploring the potential impact of the recommended measures on other aspects such as energy consumption, noise, thermal comfort etc.

Abstract
Indoor air quality plays a vital role in maintaining the health, comfort and well-being of building occupants. This report compares indoor PM2.5 and CO2 data, outdoor PM2.5 and NO2 data and weather station data against existing guidelines to analyse the differences in air quality between rooms and the potential causes of these conditions, in addition to explaining comparisons between pollutants and the frequency distribution of pollutant concentrations and exploring the possible causes. After illustrating the main findings, the building is modeled using DesignBuilder and the recommended interventions are found, briefly exploring the potential impact of the recommended measures on other aspects such as energy consumption, noise, thermal comfort etc.
