Group 5 Flashcards
It encompasses natural light, acoustic comfort, lighting, temperature, and air quality.
Indoor Environmental Quality
The quantity and caliber of labor performed by employees
Increasing Employee Output
IEQ has a greater impact on humans than on materials, water, and energy. It
encompasses factors that affect comfort, health, and productivity as well as indoor
air quality (IAQ).
Acoustics
Illumination
Thermal comfort
It encompasses air composition, temperature, moisture content, and odor.
Air Quality
can cause many health problems and irritate the skin, eyes, and throat
when they are released at room temperature.
VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
The process of modifying or replenishing indoor air to eliminate pollutants such
as dampness, smells, emissions (including formaldehyde and volatile organic
compounds), dust, bacteria, combustion byproducts, and CO2 while
introducing oxygen
Ventilation
Smoking should be prohibited within buildings and within____ to ____ feet of windows, air intakes, and entrances in order to safeguard the people. A
25 to 50 feet
Although it is uncommon and
expensive in commercial settings, some buildings may isolate smoking zones
with separate HVAC systems.
Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS)
Comfort and productivity are impacted by ______ factors such as air temperature, humidity, and velocity
Thermal Comfort
One person’s ideal “settings” for indoor comfort are never the same as those of his neighbor.
Controllability
The most common indoor comfort concern
Acoustic Comfort
Using _____ materials is one way to improve IEQ in sustainable building design.
green
are substances that don’t harm people or
the environment.
Low volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
dependable in identifying smoke, dust, and
other harmful pollutants in the air we breathe.
Particulate Matter (PM)
By continuously monitoring CO2 levels and warning staff of any threats before
they become more serious, CO2 gas detection systems can help reduce risks.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensors
have a high vapor pressure at ambient temperature, which causes a lot of molecules to evaporate and release into the atmosphere.
volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Keeps an eye on the radiant and indoor air temperatures to guarantee
residents’ thermal comfort.
Thermal Comfort Sensors
Moisture and air temperature are measured and reported using a ______
hygrometer/Humidity Sensors
This produces customized settings,
such as sunny mornings and cozy evenings, that support wellbeing at various
times.
Lighting Sensors
connect the digital and physical worlds by gathering data and detecting changes in the environment.
IoT sensors
99.97% to 99.99% of airborne particles, even those as small as 0.3 microns,
are eliminated with _____.
HEPA filters
Its main goal is to improve indoor environmental quality so that people can live in healthier environments.
International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)
It denotes a certification for designing green buildings that are cost-effective, efficient, and healthful, enhancing interior
environmental quality and carbon footprint.
LEED Certification
is a data standard for air quality
monitoring. It guarantees ongoing improvements in indoor air quality for healthier environments.
