percent of their time indoors, therefore concentration of contaminants are higher indoors than outdoors that causes indoor air pollution which results to health problems. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce your risk of indoor health concerns. Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced
Passive Ventilation Passive ventilation is a building design methodology that concentration on heat gain control and heat dissipation in a building in order to improve the indoor thermal comfort with low energy use. There are many different methods that can be employed to create a passive system. Some of which are more effective in certain situations and less effective in others. It is therefore important to use the method that will work most effectively in the situation. One of these is wind ventilation
Indoor air quality of building occupant is a basis determinant of healthy life and people’s well-being, comfort and productivity of occupants. The interactions between the site, climate, building system, construction techniques, contaminant source and occupants are the factors that affect the quality of indoor air. For example, hazardous compounds released from human activities indoors such as combustion of fuels for cooking, emission of toxic gas from construction materials and indoor equipments
spatial arrangement contributes to increasing the amount of wind flow throughout the resort complex. The absence of large, obstructing buildings provide multiple pathways for wind to travel, called wind tunnels. This then provides better air circulation where stagnant air is removed from the complex and replaced with fresh
