OBJECTIVES
The main objective of this course is to provide an indoor setting that is healthy for the occupants, and enhances well-being, performance and productivity.
UNIT I INTRODUCTION
Introduction-sources and type of indoor pollutants-types-effects-Building related illness-Sick building syndrome— fundamental calculations -contaminant exposure level-Indoor air quality standards.
UNIT II TYPE OF INDOOR ENVIRONMENT
Components and classification – industrial ventilation system -Special indoor environmentHospitals –-transportation-recreation building-commercial buildings-pollutants-human responses to indoor environment-lighting-acoustic environment-odour-thermal comfort.
UNIT III MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
Instrument and methods-Instrument selection process- Sampling and analysis -sensorsEstimation of pollution emission rate- emission factors-puss diffusion-evaporation and diffusion-drop evaporation-leaks-problems.
UNIT IV PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF INDOOR POLLUTION
Air cleaning – Removal of gases and vapours-Adsorption-Chemisorption- other process Particle removal by Filters, air cleaners, cyclones and scrubbers HVAC systems –Principle, function and type, air purifiers, bio filters –Current trends
