This online course provides a comprehensive guide on the analysis of indoor air quality in identifying, assessing, and mitigating pollutants within enclosed spaces.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) analysis involves a comprehensive evaluation of various parameters that collectively determine the overall quality of the air indoors. The implications of poor IAQ on human health, spanning respiratory issues to chronic conditions, underscore the necessity of thorough analysis and mitigation strategies. Moreover, the dynamic nature of IAQ, intricately linked to building occupancy and the activities within, necessitates a nuanced approach for engineers to craft tailored solutions.

This course is designed for environmental and mechanical engineers, as well as other professionals who are interested in learning more about the analysis of indoor air quality, and contribute to healthier and more sustainable living and working environments.
