People spend nearly 1/3 of their lives in bedrooms. Moreover, the greatest part of this time is spent in lack of awareness, so it is important to maintain suitable conditions in these areas, including air quality. In non-ventilated bedrooms, people may have trouble falling asleep, may not be resting enough during sleep, and they can wake up tired. This affects their well-being and behavior throughout the next day. Indoor air quality measurements were carried out in a single-family home bedroom. The measurements were made in unsealed windows. In the bedroom under examination, where people stay only during the night and where the door is always open and air is constantly being renewed, the carbon dioxide concentration during the night exceeded the permissible standard—1000 ppm.

“…High CO₂ concentrations and insufficient ventilation were documented in kindergarten classrooms worldwide, according to research conducted in Portugal [22], [23], Poland [24], France [25], Korea [26] and Malaysia [14]. A study in Portugal found that CO2 concentration in kindergarten classrooms was high and several times exceeding the Portuguese standards.…”

The kindergarten’s indoor air contained a number of pollutants, including total volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and insufficient ventilation with high carbon dioxide levels, which exceeded the indoor air quality (IAQ) guideline. The presence of these pollutants is caused by various factors including inappropriate physical setting. Indisputably, authorities throughout the countries provide guidelines for designing kindergartens' spaces, however it is limited to general explanations and only guided by early education compliance. It is vital to determine which kindergarten regulations may contribute to poor IAQ. This paper explores national kindergarten physical setting guidelines and how it affects IAQ. A document analysis method was used to determine the characteristics and differences between kindergarten guidelines. Firstly, the composition of each kindergarten guideline was itemised. Then, the study was conducted by making comparisons of the identified items. All the criteria were further reviewed from IAQ perspectives. This study was conducted on guidelines in Australia, Canada, the United States, Singapore and Malaysia. There are five physical setting requirements that influence IAQ : minimum indoor space required per child, sleep area, kitchen and food preparation area, ventilation requirements and furniture and finishes. All activities happen in this microenvironment contribute to IAQ, which is also affected by the ventilation system, furniture and finishes selection. It can be concluded that there is still room for improvement in existing guidelines by taking into account the indoor air perspective. Aside from the main function of kindergarten to provide education, the physical setting of kindergarten also plays a significant role in the growth and health of chidren.

“…Various types of rooms were analyzed. Among others the residential buildings [4,8], the classrooms [9][10][11], office buildings [6] and preschools [7,12] were examined. The tests of air parameters were also conducted in car cabins [13,14], where is mechanical ventilation and pollution, which is caused by the presence of people, just like in didactic rooms.…”

Abstract. Main parameters of indoor air quality could influence people health and ability to work and ability to learning. The research was conducted in University of Technology building located in Białystok, north-eastern Poland. Research -surveys was devoted to issues related to the thermal comfort in a classroom of university. Interviewees declared perceptible temperature and described their feelings connected to the temperature sensation. Other indoor parameters were also analysed such as: temperature, humidity and indoor air quality and noise level. Peoples -students filled the surveys about thermal comfort and indoor parameters. The research included indoor thermal comfort.
