This study investigates the indoor air quality (IAQ) conditions in green‐certified buildings and examines the factors influencing them. An integrated IoT sensing system was implemented indoors and outdoors to assess the levels of particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone at five Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)‐certified and ...

Developing an Enhanced Model for Combined Heat and Air Infiltration Energy Simulation
The need for efficient, sustainable, and planned utilization of resources is ever more critical. In the U.S. alone, buildings consume 34.8 Quadrillion (1015) BTU of energy annually at a cost of $1.4 Trillion.

Providing high air quality is crucial to the health and well‐being of older people living in nursing homes. A measurement study was undertaken in 22 communal rooms of five nursing homes in Spain to investigate the effects of heating, ventilation, and air‐conditioning (HVAC) systems, room characteristics, and occupant activities on the indoor air ...

Initiatives abound for improving energy efficiency in existing dwellings stock, yet the impact in their indoor thermal comfort conditions, postretrofit performance, and comfort levels are insufficiently explored. Studies that evaluate this parameter, enabling the validation or adjustment of current policies of retrofit actions, would be essential. Thus,
