Environment International, 2019 Previous research has demonstrated the positive associations between outdoor nature contact and stress reduction. However, similar effects of incorporating natural elements into indoor environment (i.e. biophilic design) have been less well studied.

Association of the Indoor Environment With Dry Eye Metrics.
JAMA ophthalmology, 2020 Importance The ocular surface is continuously exposed to the environment. Although studies have focused on associations between outdoor environmental conditions and dry eye, information on associations between the indoor environment and dry eye is ...

Bayesian Surprise in Indoor Environments [PDF]
Proceedings of the 27th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems, 2019 This paper proposes a novel method to identify unexpected structures in 2D floor plans using the concept of Bayesian Surprise. Taking into account that a person's expectation is an important aspect of the perception of space, we exploit the theory of Bayesian Surprise to robustly model expectation and thus surprise in the context of building structures.

Measured influence of supply airflow rate and supply air temperature on air mixing time in a room with overhead mixed system [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesAir mixing and movement are often driven by the design and operating conditions of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and are influenced by occupants and thermal gradients at windows and walls.

Asthma and indoor environment in Nepal [PDF]
Thorax, 2001 BACKGROUNDThe development of asthma seems to be influenced by the adoption of a Western lifestyle. A study was undertaken to assess the importance of indoor environmental factors in Nepal where the lifestyle and home environment differ from that in the West.METHODSThe home environment of 121 schoolchildren with asthma and 126 controls aged 11–17 years ...

Wildfire Smoke Adjustment Factors for Low-Cost and Professional PM2.5 Monitors with Optical Sensors
Sensors, 2020 Air quality monitors using low-cost optical PM2.5 sensors can track the dispersion of wildfire smoke; but quantitative hazard assessment requires a smoke-specific adjustment factor (AF).
