background: many studies have been conducted to assess the indoor air quality (iaq) of buildings throughout the world because it is closely related to comfort, safety and work productivity of occupants. however, there is still lack of available literature about iaq in tropical buildings that apply radiant cooling systems in conditioning the indoor air. methods: this paper reports the results ob...

This study assesses factors influencing Internal Audit Quality (IAQ) in Greece. Hand-collected data were obtained from 2013 and 2014 annual financial reports from companies such as food industries, beverage –and their subcategoriesindustries as well as fishing and distillation, listed in Athens Stock Exchange (ASE). Previous literature was chosen in order to highlight significant independent va...

Gaps in internal audit function (IAF), such as quality (IAQ), began to be pointed out by studies carried after Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act publication. As a subject still under development the literature, this article seeks delineate research profile for IAQ period from 1999 2021. To end, bibliometric on was conducted, resulting identification of how area has progressed over last 22 years, encompa...

Conducting a full indoor air quality (IAQ) assessment in air-conditioned offices requires large-scale material and manpower resources. However, an IAQ index can be adopted as a handy screening tool to identify any premises (with poor IAQ) that need more comprehensive IAQ assessments to prioritize IAQ improvements. This study proposes a step-wise IAQ screening protocol to facilitate its cost-eff...

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...

Indoor air quality (IAQ) can produce significant economic benefits for the tenant during the use of the building. However, currently the potential economic benefits on a tenant’s employees’ health and performance are not considered in feasibility studies for IAQ investments. Here, the economic value refers to benefits that can be expressed numerically in terms of money such as cost savings and ...

Since people spend a majority of their time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) can have a significant impact on human health, safety, productivity, and comfort. Due to the diversity and dynamics of people’s indoor activities, it is important to monitor IAQ for each individual. Most existing air quality sensing systems are stationary or focus on outdoor air quality. In contrast, we propose MAQS, ...

A data-driven approach for modeling indoor-air-quality (IAQ) sensors used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is presented. The IAQ sensors considered in the paper measure three basic parameters, temperature, CO2, and relative humidity. Three models predicting values of IAQ parameters are built with various data mining algorithms. Four data mining algorithms have been t...

Monitoring indoor air quality (IAQ) is deemed important nowadays. A sophisticated IAQ monitoring system which could classify the source influencing the IAQ is definitely going to be very helpful to the users. Therefore, in this paper, an IAQ monitoring system has been proposed with a newly added feature which enables the system to identify the sources influencing the level of IAQ. In order to a...

BACKGROUND To meet the current diversified health needs in workplaces, especially in nonindustrial workplaces in developing countries, an indoor air quality (IAQ) component of a participatory occupational safety and health survey should be included. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate and suggest a multidisciplinary, integrated IAQ checklist for evaluating the health risk of ...
