Indoor Air Quality Monitoring For Human Health
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: The assessment of indoor air quality (IAQ) risks to building occupants has become a complex and challenging issue for building owners and facility managers. Recent research has defined causal links between construction practices and infection rates in health care building and renovation projects. Attention to IAQ management during building construction is being elevated because of its potential role in fungal, mold, related problems in buildings. Advanced environmental control techniques and are now being developed to better manage IAQ in health care facilities, including improved particulate control, air disinfection systems, moisture control, and pressurization strategies. Each of these creates additional sequencing and process requirements during construction with related implications for construction cost and schedules. As a result, the role of the contractor in managing and implementing indoor air quality in health care construction and renovation is becoming increasingly complex. This paper presents an analysis the relationships emerging between IAQ technologies and construction practices, with an emphasis on heath care facility construction. A case study of IAQ management during construction is presented to illustrate the lack of current formal processes, and the implications of state-of-the art infection control strategies on construction projects. Recommendations are made for improved assessment, control, and monitoring of moisture in buildings during construction as an example of how to improve current practice. Future directions for research in this critical area of the construction industry are also provided.
