“…Hence, the current climate emergency and the growing concern about the deterioration of the urban and rural environment are shaping the course of building research in the attempt to mitigate the ecological impact of buildings and considering their economic and social context [52]. In this sense, large European cities are suffering a progressive increase in their average temperature (heat island effect) [53], while increasing their pollution levels and decreasing air quality [54] and experiencing increasingly frequent violent weather events such as acid rain, floods, droughts or heat waves [55].…”

Ensuring good indoor air quality in the spaces within educational centres is essential for the health and academic performance of students. In this sense, studying the evolution of health pollutants and their relationship with the environmental parameters of indoor humidity and temperature presents a challenge for the design of more efficient and comfortable buildings with a lower risk of virus infection. In this work, the relationship between pollution levels and SARS-CoV-2 virus infections in the academic year 2021/22 is shown, comparing the pollution values measured on-site with the value of the official measuring stations of the Community of Madrid. In addition, the impact of ventilation measures implemented during this period is assessed, aiming to establish guidelines for ensuring a safer and healthier school environment. It was found that during winter months, when there is less outdoor ventilation, pollution levels exceeded the recommended limits, according to reference regulations. This highlights the need for interior conditioning strategies in educational spaces. Thus, this multidimensional approach, considering both airborne pollutants and weather conditions, provides a comprehensive perspective on indoor air quality in school buildings in the central area of a metropolitan city, such as the Community of Madrid.
