Abstract

Students spend 30 % of their lives indoors; therefore, a healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial for their well-being and academic performance in Higher Education Institutions. This review highlights the interventions for improving Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) in Higher Education Institutions classrooms considering climate change by discussing ventilation techniques, phytoremediation, and building features designed to improve noise levels, thermal comfort, lighting and to reduce odor. Awareness and literacy are enhanced through the student's engagement by offering real-time monitoring knowledge of Indoor Environmental Quality using inexpensive smart sensors combined with IoT technology. Eco-friendly strategies are also highlighted to promote sustainability.

提高高等教育机构室内环境质量的干预措施对学生福祉和学习成绩的作用

学生一生中有30%的时间是在室内度过的；因此，健康的室内空气质量（IAQ）对他们在高等教育机构的健康和学习成绩至关重要。本文通过讨论通风技术、植物修复和旨在改善噪音水平、热舒适、照明和减少气味的建筑特征，重点介绍了在考虑气候变化的高等教育机构教室中改善室内环境质量（IEQ）的干预措施。通过使用廉价的智能传感器结合物联网技术，提供室内环境质量的实时监测知识，提高了学生的意识和素养。环保策略也被强调，以促进可持续发展。
