However, the climate and operational factors shaping coil-induced airborne fungal contamination remain unclear, impeding the development of effective mitigation strategies. This study developed a lab-scale system with three coil rows to examine fungal contamination dynamics during the transition from the hot-humid plum rain season to the hot-dry heat wave period in Shanghai. A 55-day experiment was conducted following a standard office-hour schedule (9:00 to 17:00), with daily fungal sampling from air, coil surfaces, and condensate. Results showed that coil-induced fungal contamination depends on climate, system's operation duration, and coil row position, with condensate often heavily polluted. Humid climates amplified fungal emissions, particularly upon morning coil activation. Fungal level in downstream air increased by 24.5% on hot-humid mornings but decreased by 36.3% on hot-dry mornings. Hot-humid conditions also enriched allergenic species, such as <em>Aspergillus</em> and <em>Malassezia</em>, in downstream air. Additionally, continuous coil operation heightened fungal exposure risks, emitting respirable fungal particles into downstream air at nearly triple the upstream levels after three consecutive hot-humid mornings. Rear-row coils were the dominant emission sources, as evidenced by a “J-shaped” fungal distribution on coil surfaces: front-row coils cleared fungal deposits via condensate drainage, while rear-row coils retained moisture, promoting fungal proliferation and spore dissemination. These findings underscore cooling coils as substantial indoor fungal sources in hot-humid climates upon activation, emphasizing the need for targeted rear-row coil maintenance to mitigate fungal emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9273,"journal":{"name":"Building and Environment","volume":"275 ","pages":"Article 112820"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143580585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the impacts and reduction potential of these systems is crucial for decarbonizing retrofits and new buildings. Therefore, we have conducted a critical review of LCA studies on MEP systems in buildings, selected using a systematic method, to identify: 1) estimates for upfront embodied [A1-A5] and replacement [B4] carbon impacts; 2) LCA reporting fundamentals needed to ensure transparency and interpretability of results; 3) future research directions. Since 2016, 54 studies presented sufficient information to investigate presented methodologies and LCA results of MEP systems. The review reinforces the need to report environmental impacts by individual life cycle stages and building or system elements to interpret influencing factors and enable further utility of results. Two studies did not report the impact assessment method nor background dataset used for the assessment rendering their results incomparable with others and are excluded from analysis.

However, there is a long-unsolved challenge in efficiently and elaborately modelling trees and simulating spatiotemporally heterogeneous shading effects of trees on 3D urban envelopes. To overcome the challenge, this study proposes a research framework that: (i) employs transfer learning to build a deep learning model for accurately segmenting geo-objects in Street View Images (SVIs), (ii) utilizes semantic segmentation results to fit regressions between the pixels of specific geo-objects in the SVIs and the corresponding real-world lengths of standard geo-objects, develops a 3D space geometric projection model for calculating tree coordinates and 3D geometries, and identifies the real spatial relationships between buildings and trees to calibrate errors caused by segmentation inaccuracies for subsequent simulations, and (iii) integrates the calibrated 3D tree models with 3D building models to construct a unified 3D urban model for estimating the spatiotemporal distribution of sunlight and shading. Using Singapore as the study area, we adopted DeepLabV3+, a widely used pre-trained semantic segmentation model, to achieve IoU of 91.51 % for buildings and 76.29 % for trees, with F1-scores of 97.93 % and 88.19 % respectively.

Drawing on the hue-heat hypothesis, this study examines the impact of ambient temperatures and interior lighting conditions on driving performance and environmental perception, focusing on their independent and interactive effects. Seventy-two drivers were randomly assigned to three temperature groups (18°C, 23°C, and 28°C) and completed driving tasks in a high-fidelity simulator under varying interior lighting conditions (red, blue, warm white, and cool white). Performance was assessed alongside secondary tasks to simulate real-world driving distractions. Post-task surveys gauged sleepiness, environmental satisfaction, task load, and emotional state. The results show that temperature significantly affects driving performance, cognitive tasks, and environmental perception. Moderate temperatures were preferred for comfort, while higher temperatures impaired accuracy and increased cognitive strain. Metrics like pitch, speed variability, and gas pedal usage were also temperature sensitive. Conversely, lighting condition did not significantly influence driving performance, cognitive tasks, or environmental perception, providing no evidence to support the hue-heat hypothesis. Furthermore, no significant interaction effects were found between temperatures and lighting conditions on any of these metrics, confirming their independent impact.
