background: the effect of mold fungi to allergic sensitization is not well-known. we aimed to evaluate the role of molds in the relation between indoor environment and atopy in asthmatics. materials and methods:the air samples obtained from 66 stable asthmaticsand 35 control subject’shouses were sprayed into sabouraud dextrose agar. allergy skin testing were performed both groups. the tempera...

Overview In the 1998-99 school year, U.S. K-12 public schools provided instruction to over 46 million students. An estimated 70% of all school buildings have indoor air quality (IAQ) problems, leading to an unhealthy environment. Because children breathe a greater volume of air relative to their body weight compared to adults, they may be more sensitive to indoor air pollution. Additionally, oc...

indoor environment. The most important include indoor pollutants, outdoor pollutants near the building, pollution transport through the ventilation system, air cleaning or filtration, and indoor climate (temperature and relative humidity). Many building materials, the furnishings and equipment, and the occupants and their activities are sources of indoor pollution. Following is a list of some o...

Recent studies have greatly increased our knowledge of microbial ecology of the indoor environments in which we live and work. However, the number of studies collecting robust, long-term data using standardized methods to characterize important building characteristics, indoor environmental conditions, or human occupancy e collectively referred to as “built environment data” e remain limited. I...

Investigation of occupant’s indoor environment influences can be identified through perceptive-cognitive aspects. Such an investigation leads to affective responses such as satisfied or dissatisfied, annoyed or not annoyed and hot or cold. This study investigates the perceptive-cognitive aspects of indoor environment among students who are staying in multistorey accommodations in Klang Valley a...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become a useful tool for the study of indoor and outdoor environment problems. Recently, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed several Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation models and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models to enhance the capabilities of CFD for use in indoor and outdoor environment design. The new models have ...
