Study of the D.E.F. (Department of Energy and Fluidmechanics) to Assess Indoor Air Quality

Nowadays, the need to keep indoor air quality under control is widely known due to the fact that people spend most of their time indoors. In order to show a useful working-tool this paper aims to present a guide to evaluate indoor air quality. This work was structured in the following stages: visual inspection, check list, data analysis, experimental measurements of the physical and chemical pollutants and an analysis of the improvement of indoor environmental quality. When assessing environmental quality in our department a series of experimental measurements dealing with thermal, acoustic and lighting comfort, as well as indoor air quality, were performed. After studying this case it could be confirmed the areas were an improvement was needed and the factors that should be taken into account.
