Due to the expansion of education industry in Dubai, universities have built many dormitories. Even though Dubai has a robust indoor air quality (IAQ) stipulation for public and educational buildings, dormitories must be included. IAQ newly constructed university can significantly influenced by emissions from furniture made materials such as plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), or particle...

Abstract The world’s leading indoor air quality guidelines provide for the identification of certain parameters with a specific limit value based on latest empirical measurements, however, most them do not have legal coverage and are voluntary. This leads to unequal assessment quality, because there is an identifiable difference between values set out in various guidelines. And these would be r...

There is a growing concern about Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) globally in hospitals, especially after the recent outbreak of diseases like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Swine Flu (H1N1) and other airborne infections such as Tuberculosis. The semi-arid climatic condition in the study area (Maiduguri, Nigeria) which is characterised by Harmattan dust blowing from the northeast, and preval...

Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate effect a training program developed based on health belief model (HBM) elementary school students’ behaviors towards prevention playground accidents. 
 Methods: This randomized controlled trial was carried out from September 2016 June 2017. Elementary students were randomly assigned into an intervention group (n = 62) and control 62). Data co...

In China, natural ventilation is a common way of improving indoor air quality (IAQ) in college classrooms. However, until now, the effects both manual airing strategies and architectural factors on IAQ classrooms have not been well explored. The present work aimed to investigate effect strategies, such as opening doors exterior or interior windows, concentrations carbon dioxide (CO2) fine parti...

The importance of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has been highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly due to possibility long-distance airborne transmission. Consequently, assessment ventilation rates and estimation infection risk become a matter utmost importance. In this paper, naturally ventilated elementary school classroom is studied, where carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations were measure...

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has a substantial impact on public health. Since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, more employees have worked remotely from home to minimize in-person contacts. This pilot study aims measure difference in workplace IAQ before and during pandemic its employees’ The levels fine particulate matter (PM2.5) total volatile organic chemicals (tVOC) were measured offices at h...

Tourism is Australia's fourth-largest exporting sector, yet little research has been done on how satisfied guests are with the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of Australian guest homes. This project utilized web-mining, natural language processing and sentiment analysis to analyse customers' IEQ satisfaction in tourist accommodations across ten tourism cities. By analysing 543,213 reviews fr...

Thermal comfort, indoor air quality (IAQ), and energy use are closely related, even though these have different aspects with respect to building performance. We analyzed thermal comfort IAQ using real-time multiple environmental data, which include temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (e.g., PM10 PM2.5), as well electricity from an recovery ventilation (ERV) ...
