Abstract
The project has the general purpose of evaluating and contributing to improving the quality of the air inside the office buildings managed by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano. By combining building and medical expertise, the project aims to achieve five key results: (R1) Assessment of IAQ and its effects on health in an exemplary case study including also considerations on the risk of contagion from viruses such as COVID19; (R2) List of indoor air contaminants with indication of their relevance; (R3) Indicator to assess the overall chronic exposure to multiple pollutants; (R4) Standard report on the healthiness of a building based on periodically repeated subjective measurements and assessments; (R5) Provincial IAQ database in the offices.
The aim is to understand the current situation (R1) and implement a strategy to ensure adequate IAQ in the medium and long term in office buildings (R4) based on clear priorities (R2), well-defined and context-appropriate indicators (R3) and an organized management system for the collected data (R5).
The database is a PostgrSQL database that collects infomation coming from sensors and from surveys of offices users.
Database allows to cross information from thses 2 sources to understand if perception of users reflects the offices conditions.
