Energy consumption, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality in mosques: Impact of Covid-19 measures

A Literature Review of Indoor Air Quality and Sick Building Syndrome in Office Building Design Environment

“…Therefore, building design must focus more on isolating and mitigating certain allergic problems related to office building indoor environments as well as controlling the indoor contaminant sources using passive design mechanisms or strategies towards improving IAQ. As acknowledged by Yüksel et al [3], the focus of researchers in achieving a healthy environment should be on passive design initiatives and smart technologies.…”

“…As such, its design configuration is critical. An indoor environment with a free flow of air and a limited occupancy level improves the quality of indoor air as the concentration level of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is low [3]. A study in the United States by Watson [4] has shown that a greater population of citizens acknowledged the importance of a healthy IAQ during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Experimental feasibility study of multipurpose low-cost solar thermal device for different applications including inactivation of SARS CoV-2

“…This study depicts that the increase in temperature and pressure causes coronavirus disinfection, which can be used for medical purposes. Recently, Yüksel et al [60] and Ismail [61] reported studies related to temperature, humidity, air quality and impact on energy consumption due to COVID 2019 pandemic.…”

What drove electricity consumption in the residential sector during the SARS-CoV-2 confinement? A special focus on university students in southern Spain

“…Recently, some studies have emerged analysing energy consumption during the pandemic in non-residential buildings facilities [8,9]. However, there is no literature analysing the determinants of electricity consumption in the residential sector in situations as exceptional as pandemic-induced lockdowns.…”
