Abstract

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is a significant issue in the process of designing new buildings, but also during the evaluation of the existing building stock. The parameter that is the dominant indicator of achieving an adequate level of IEQ is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Since children spend most of their time in schools achieving an adequate level of the indoor environment is especially important. Inadequate IEQ can cause serious consequences on their health and well-being. Current research and practice show that there is a lack of a uniform protocol for the evaluation of IAQ in buildings. Consequently, different research methodologies provide inconsistent results and prevent real insight into the state of IAQ in buildings. This paper aims to define the indoor air quality evaluation protocol that will allow uniform and wholesome insight into the current state of the indoor environment in a school building in Serbia. The protocol will be defined through steps and parameters that should be considered in order to get a complete insight into IAQ in buildings. Implementation of the protocol should provide recommendations for the treatment of school buildings both during energy renovation as well as future design.

制订评估学校建筑物室内空气质素的程序

室内环境质量(IEQ)是新建筑设计过程中的一个重要问题，也是现有建筑存量评价中的一个重要问题。达到适当的IEQ水平的主要指标参数是室内空气质量(IAQ)。由于儿童大部分时间都在学校度过，因此获得适当的室内环境尤为重要。IEQ不足会对他们的健康和幸福造成严重后果。目前的研究和实践表明，建筑室内空气质量评价缺乏统一的标准。因此，不同的研究方法提供了不一致的结果，并阻碍了对建筑物内室内空气质量状况的真正了解。本文旨在定义室内空气质量评估协议，该协议将允许统一和健康的洞察力进入塞尔维亚学校建筑室内环境的现状。该协议将通过应考虑的步骤和参数来定义，以便全面了解建筑物中的室内空气质量。该议定书的实施应为学校建筑在能源改造和未来设计期间的处理提供建议。
