Ventilation Performance Assessment of an Educational Building in a Hot and Humid Climate

Abstract: Air Handling Units in mechanical ventilation system possess a high degree of potential to circulate contaminants within occupied spaces of a building which often results in sick building syndrome (SBS), building related illness (BRI) and other indoor air quality (IAQ) related issues. This happens despite the expected role of ventilation systems to create a balance of thermal comfort and indoor air quality to the building occupants as well as the stored components. In the hot and humid climate mechanical ventil… Show more

“…In the hot and humid climate, evidence exists of linking condensation problems with the practice of running some part of the microenvironment under cooling mode while adjacent spaces are either not in operations -24hrs vs 8hrs [8,19,20] or rather being ventilated with unconditioned air by MSEF system [21]. Nevertheless, insufficient evidence exists on the building envelope thermal quality and the operative conditions over moisture related problems.…”

“…This results presented in this study is part of a series of interdisciplinary research on mould growth in tropical climate building. Interested readers are directed to other companion studies for further information [32,[35][36][37][38]. Figure 1 shows a schematic of the case-studied room with the measurement locations.…”
