Experimental Verification of Air Quality in Primary Schools

Article Preview

Abstract:

The air quality in the classrooms of primary schools is an issue that is high on the agenda. They are devoted to the study and Europe. They show a wide variation in air requirements by occupancy class. During weekends and holidays, it is not necessary to meet the health requirements for air taking into account the presence of students. It is possible to specify boundary conditions, which influenced thermal requirements for building envelopes, by finding and setting various intensities of air exchange, depending on the occupation and function of the building. This fact should result to improving of the energy efficiency of primary school buildings and reducing of operating energy costs.
