Comparative Study of Mediterranean School Ventilation Systems based on a Predictive Model for Integrated Assessment of Energy Use, Thermal Comfort, and Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In the context of climate change, the increase in frequency and intensity of heat waves, as well as air pollution, poses a challenge for environmental conditioning in buildings. This fact is of concern in schools given the special vulnerability of their occupants and the frequent energy‐environmental gap of these buildings in southern Spain.
