Indoor Air Quality D
Aalto University
<p>Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures and relates to the health, comfort and productivity of building occupants. This course will help students recognize the factors that affect measured and perceived indoor air quality in non-industrial indoor environments such as residents and different public buildings (e.g. schools, offices, daycare centers, hospitals). The course familiarizes students with health effects caused by various agents typically known to cause indoor air quality concerns including moulds, and provide an understanding of the various methods as well as suggestions and guidelines available for the assessment of indoor air quality and mould issues. The course also provides knowledge of good practices and management processes for solving indoor air quality problems as well as knowledge of climate-induced indoor environmental problems. The course also offers an overview of scientific writing in a subject area. Within the course participants are required to write a learning report, work in pairs and in groups and provide presentations in order to develop communication and presentation skills.</p>
