Prevalence and Implementation of IAQ Programs in U.S. Schools

In this study, we determined the extent to which U.S. schools are implementing indoor air quality (IAQ) programs. We administered a questionnaire on IAQ programs and practices to a representative sample of schools. Participants were asked to provide information on the use, administration, implementation, challenges, and benefits of the IAQ program in their school. We developed an IAQ Practice I...

IAQ in a school building with moisture problems

This case study investigates the effects of ventilation intervention on measured and 12 perceived indoor air quality (IAQ) in a repaired school where occupants reported IAQ problems. 13 Occupants ́ symptoms were suspected to be related to the impurities leaked indoors through the 14 building envelope. The study’s aim was to determine whether a positive pressure of 5-7 Pa prevents 15 the infiltra...
