The course aims at providing a sound understanding of the significance of indoor environmental quality for the well-being and performance of occupants, the methodologies for assessing and evaluating measured/perceived indoor environmental quality, as well as the inter-relationships between customer/occupant satisfaction and overall building performance (energy efficiency/quality, cost efficiency and environmental impact) in different categories of buildings, including high-performing buildings and special environments.
Upon successful course completion, students are intended to have gained a sound understanding of the folowing aspects of indoor environmental quality and building performance in different categories of buildings:
• Impacts of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) on occupant satisfaction and performance
• Impact of building construction/design on IEQ (bioclimatic design)
• IEQ criteria and system choice in retrofitting and new construction
• IEQ and building economy
• IEQ and energy efficiency/quality in buildings
• IEQ and environmental impact of buildings
• Impact of occupant behavior on IEQ and building performance
• Technologies and methodologies for measuring and evaluating IEQ (thermal comfort, indoor air quality, lighting and acoustic conditions) in different categories of buildings
• Assessment of perceived IEQ, development and implementation of IEQ questionnaire studies
• Integrated assessment of building performance (inter-relationships between customer satisfaction/performance, energy efficiency/quality, economic efficiency and environmental impact)
• Visualization of IEQ andbuildingperformance
• IEQ in high-performing buildings (passive, near-zero-energy and positive energy buildings)
• IEQ in special environments (health-care facilities, schools, vehicles/airplanes, special industrial settings)
