A new look at smart ventilation for public buildings in the tropics in the post-pandemic era
Conference Publication ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
This paper presents part of a study exploring a quantitative model for linking mechanised ventilation systems to provide acceptable indoor air quality. The lack of an indoor air quality index causes communication discord for occupants, facility managers, and design engineers. Specifically, three statistically correlated indexes to occupants’ health symptoms are the indoor discomfort index, indoor air pollutant index, and indoor environmental index. The model will be validated through empirical data to be collected from occupants of three separate institutional buildings at the James Cook University campus and Cairns City in tropical north Queensland in Australia. The next phase of this project entails the integration of applicable computer-based predictive analytical tools to control mechanised ventilation systems.
