Woodhead Publishing Advanced Technologies to Improve Indoor Air Quality (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering)

Advanced Technologies to Improve Indoor Air Quality comprehensively focuses on state-of-the-art smart systems (IoT, AI/ML, big data, quantum technology) and devices (drones and robots) that facilitate control, management, and enhancement of the quality of air inside buildings. The book also touches upon standards and policies from across the globe and includes an insightful discussion on pressing sustainability issues, such as energy efficiency and climate change adaptation to create a framework without which the transformative potential of the described cutting-edge, technical instrumentation couldn’t be fully appreciated. Finally, current, real-life examples illustrate applicability, bridging the gap between research and practice. Hoping to inspire further works and accomplishments in the field, this unique volume proves to be relevant for audiences from a variety of disciplines whose work or study interests revolve around environmentally-friendly buildings and the wellbeing of their occupants. Provides an overview of the latest technological developments for indoor air quality monitoring, measurement, and management Covers indoor air quality optimization strategies and mitigation and adaptation measures with an eye to other building performance requirements Features case studies and applied examples for different building types and scales from around the world
