Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Evaluation of Higher Education Learning Environments

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), particularly in educational facilities, is gainingconsiderable interest and a synonymous indicator towards evaluatinghuman comfort. Factors such as CO2 concentration, temperature, andhumidity play crucial parts determining an acceptable level of IAQ.Many studies have also demonstrated that the indoor air quality ofclassrooms affects students’ concentration performance. Today withthe threat global pandemic, demand clean & fresh airquality education buildings extremely intensive. This study focuseson investigating IAQ situations changes different typical functionalspaces higher building UK. CO2, data various learning environment were monitored via dataloggers during winter. Associated with monitoring, set ofquestionnaires surveys carried out to evaluate user’s experience.The results this show temperature concentrationin classrooms was constantly than government guidanceon daily basis. The analysis shows humidityincreased levels, but at much lower rate. hasrevealed poor concerning UK,particularly larger rooms high occupancy. Along findings,this paper identifies possible impact or factors proposes solutionsto overcome these issues.
