Introduction to Indoor Air Quality

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology

Delve into the realm of Indoor Air Quality with this comprehensive course offered by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Understand the significance of maintaining proper IAQ and explore a wide array of indoor air contaminants (IAC) such as particulate matters, radon, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), asbestos, and bio-aerosols. Learn about safe exposure levels, resulting health effects, measurement techniques, and mitigation strategies for these contaminants. Gain insights into building ventilation systems, indoor flow characteristics, sick building syndrome, and thermal comfort.

The course is divided into four modules, each covering specific aspects in detail. Module 1 focuses on the introduction to IAQ, indoor air contaminants, sick building syndrome, and ventilation methodologies. Module 2 delves into radon, indoor aerosols, clean rooms, and air cleaners, while Module 3 addresses volatile organic compounds, ozone, and combustion-related pollutants. Module 4 covers bioaerosols, asbestos, and thermal comfort, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting indoor air quality.

Throughout the course, learners will have access to related readings, quizzes, and assignments to reinforce their understanding. The course culminates in a final exam, allowing participants to demonstrate their knowledge and receive a certificate upon successful completion.
