Abstract
Currently, there is great concern about adequate indoor ventilation to prevent adverse effects on occupants’ health, and, within educational buildings, to ensure students and professors’ well-being and improve learning processes. This paper aims to present an innovative framework, developed within the IAQ4EDU project, to improve the effectiveness of the ventilation strategies in educational centres considering the indoor air quality, thermal comfort, energy consumption and global costs. This consists on characterise indoor air quality, simulate building ventilation strategies using reduced order models and develop multi criteria decision making method. 40 classrooms located in 20 Spanish educational buildings are used as case study. © European Council on Computing in Construction (EC3).
