An integrated IoT sensing system was implemented indoors and outdoors to assess the levels of particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone at five Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified and five non-LEED educational buildings in Central Florida. Building-related characteristics were collected through walk-through surveys, BACnet systems, and construction drawings. An algorithm model based on support vector machine (SVM) and nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) was developed to analyze the features of pollutants and the relative contribution of different influencing factors. The findings reveal that concentrations of target pollutants are generally lower in LEED buildings compared to non-LEED buildings. Although IAQ influencing factors are generally similar between LEED and non-LEED buildings, the weighted contribution ratios of specific factors, particularly for indoor nitrogen dioxide and ozone, vary significantly. The concentration of pollutants in non-LEED buildings is more susceptible to adverse environmental factors. The SVM-NMF model demonstrates significant advantages in nonlinear feature extraction and handling multicollinearity issues. It surpasses multiple linear regression and backpropagation neural network models in analyzing multidimensional indoor air data by 26.9% and 18% (<i>p</i> < 0.001), respectively. The robustness of the model was validated through fit comparison, cross-validation, and residual analysis.

In this study, the indoor air quality of a university classroom was monitored using home-built air quality boxes (AQBs) comprising low-cost sensors for various gas species, including CO<sub>2</sub>, ozone, and NO<sub>x</sub>. The interaction processes between indoor and outdoor air and human interference were investigated using box model simulation of CO<sub>2</sub> and ozone profiles. The results indicate both indoor CO<sub>2</sub> and ozone were significantly affected by the ventilation and number of occupants. The simulation of CO<sub>2</sub> profiles retrieves an air exchange rate constant of ~1.05 h<sup>−1</sup> for one door opening, in addition to the room ventilator of 1.20 h<sup>−1</sup>. With the derived parameters, the study estimated that ozone, mainly transported from the outdoors and consumed by room and human surfaces, has deposition velocities of 0.019 ± 0.005 and 0.45 ± 0.15 cm s<sup>−1</sup> for room and human surfaces, respectively, consistent with the literature. The simulation also suggests that VOCs such as Ga, 6-MHO, and 4-OPA from ozone consumption on human surfaces might accumulate indoors to several parts per billion by volume in a crowded room with poor ventilation. The integration of observation using low-cost sensors with the model simulation quantified the physical and chemical processes controlling indoor ozone concentration and organic ozonolysis.

Finally, quantitative results were obtained through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. Analysis revealed that model ZV2 with wall outlets at 1.1 m and ceiling inlets proved to be the optimal ventilation type. It had fewer air circulation and stagnation areas, and it maintained its effectiveness regardless of furniture configurations or occupant positioning (caregivers and elderly people), factors that could potentially compromise airflow in other models.

However, there is a need to synthesize the wide array of existing indoor environmental assessment and performance research in a way that can translate directly to building design and operation. Existing research in this area typically focuses on a single isolated metric and has not focused on making the results utilizable by building practitioners. The aim of this research is to investigate existing office performance literature through meta-analyses and produce regression models for four indoor environmental quality (IEQ) metrics to support critical decision-making for building operation and renovation. To reach this aim, a literature review was conducted to identify studies that measure the impact of changing ventilation rate, temperature, horizontal illuminance, and noise level in offices on occupant task performance. This repository of field and laboratory studies was analyzed to visualize the trends between the selected IEQ metrics and task performance. The temperature, ventilation rate, and horizontal illuminance regression models showed clear improvement potential when modifying indoor conditions toward the defined high-performance range, while the regression model for noise level was inconclusive. The discussion notes the importance of designing holistically for all components of these IEQ categories to utilize the results, for example, good filtration on outdoor air for quantifying ventilation impact and uniform overhead lighting with low contrast for quantifying horizontal illuminance impact. The novelty of this work is in considering multiple facets of the indoor environment under a single, unified analysis schema and producing IEQ-based performance gains that can directly inform cost-benefit analyses of building design and renovation.</p>","PeriodicalId":13529,"journal":{"name":"Indoor air","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/ina/6840369","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143845962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
