This study used a virtual reality experimental approach to investigate the effects of classroom design characteristics on children's physiological and psychological outcomes. Ninety-six school-aged children (aged 10–14 years) experienced classroom environments using virtual reality technology and the restorative effects of seven design characteristics in different combinations were tested. The children's stress, attention, mood, and restoration were measured using physiological indicators and questionnaires during and after the experience. The results showed that six design characteristics had a significant effect on children: indoor plants, window views, seating arrangements, window areas, wall decorations, and wall and furniture colors. The effects and strengths of the different design characteristics varied. However, spatial density did not appear to have any effect. The results also revealed significant differences in cognitive and emotional perceptions according to gender and age. The need for future longitudinal experiments with long-term, real-life scenarios is discussed. The research findings can inform evidence-based design, guidelines, and standards for healthy school environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9273,"journal":{"name":"Building and Environment","volume":"267 ","pages":"Article 112274"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142698716","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}

A predictive mathematical model describing the effect of residence time and exposure temperature on the thermal inactivation process of <em>Klebsiella pneumoniae</em> (<em>K. pneumoniae</em>), <em>Escherichia coli</em> (<em>E. coli</em>) and <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> (<em>S. aureus</em>) in aerosol was developed. A continuous flow experimental system was set up to determine the survival ratio of bioaerosols under the wall temperature of 45–120 °C and residence time of 1.5–12 s. The experimental results showed that the thermal stability in the order from high to low was <em>S. aureus</em> > <em>K. pneumoniae</em> > <em>E. coli</em>. The inactivation model was developed based on the first-order kinetic model and Arrhenius equation and the model parameters were identified through particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the input of time-dependent exposure temperature calculated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The survival ratio calculated by the present model corresponded well with that observed in the experiment, with root mean square error (RMSE) being 0.0445, 0.0433 and 0.0376 for <em>K. pneumoniae, E. coli</em> and <em>S. aureus</em>, respectively. Based on the heat and mass transfer model for Trombe wall, it was found that solar-driven thermal inactivation could reduce the indoor bacterial concentration by up to 57 % for <em>E. coli</em> with thermal efficiency being 0.424 under solar irradiance of 496 W/m<sup>2</sup> and ambient temperature of 12.8 °C.
