Approaches to Assessing IEQ in Urban School Classrooms: Focusing on Primary and Secondary Education
摘要
The indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is described as “the quality of a building’s environment concerning the health and well-being of its occupants; it encompasses design, analysis, and operation aspects that result in buildings that are energy-efficient, healthy, and welcoming,” according to the study. One-fifth of all people spend over 30% of their time in educational facilities, such as schools, universities, and colleges. School buildings are among the most often occupied building types by children and it is imperative to support building occupants’ health and well-being regarding indoor environmental quality, particularly thermal comfort, and visual comfort in primary and secondary school classrooms around the globe. This chapter looks into the donation of previous literary journals on the impact of IEQ and its approaches to assessing the general well-being, daylighting, thermal comfort, and visual comfort of pupils in urban primary and secondary school classrooms that were published during the last 10 years (2014–2024). By using PRISMA methodology, this chapter conducts a systematic literature review and examines the ways to study and recognize the appropriate methodology for the evaluation of IEQ (indoor environmental quality) in the primary and secondary school classroom premises worldwide at various climatic zones.
