Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems attempt to achieve a uniform indoor environment. However, this can be challenging, because the placement and control of HVAC systems and sensors are affected by many unpredictable factors. The efficacious exploitation of this nonuniformity can lead to an improvement of indoor environment around occupants. Of the many indoor environment variables, we focused on the CO2 concentration associated with ventilation.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the respiratory characteristics and productivity with wearing a mask, and to propose the indoor control strategy to maintain the thermal comfort. With the worldwide spread of biological hazards including COVID-19, it has become common to wear a mask as a countermeasure against infection in public places. Because of this influence, it is necessary to take measures against health hazards caused by wearing a mask (increased respiratory load and oxygen poverty due to wearing a mask for a long time, heat stroke in summer).

People spend approximately 90% of their time within indoor environments, and consequently, characterizing the chemistry of indoor air is valuable from a human health perspective. A simple-to-run indoor air chemistry model is needed as an initial screening tool for public health applications. The Simplified Indoor Air Chemistry Simulator (SIACS), which is currently in development by EPA, incorporates 78 chemical species with 211 chemical reactions and aims to fit this need.

In this study, questionnaire survey and field measurement were conducted for the houses with the elderly in urban and rural areas across 6 regions of China, during heating period. As the results, the prevalence of hypertension was found around 40% in both urban and rural areas. In the northern regions, the room temperature in urban residences was stable at around 20°C, and in rural areas this temperature rarely reached 20°C but it fluctuated greatly.
This is a new monthly 60-minute program from ISIAQ/IEQ-GA that is being produced by Healthy Indoors®/IAQNET LLC.
The show is co-hosted by Healthy Indoors’ Founder & Publisher, Bob Krell, and current IEQ-GA President, Donald Weekes. They have real-world experience in a variety of subjects pertaining to the indoor environment, and they are adept at stewarding the conversation to make it both informative and enjoyable.
