Project Details
Abstract
The Indoor Air Quality and Exposure Assessment project is a three-year study that establishes the first integrated baseline of indoor air quality (IAQ) and personal exposure in Qatar’s built environment. Using calibrated low-cost sensors, the project benchmarks IAQ across Education City buildings, evaluates the influence of HVAC systems, occupancy, and outdoor infiltration, and quantifies personal exposure across multiple microenvironments. The work delivers validated sensor calibration models (WP1), baseline IAQ profiles and best-practice management strategies (WP2), and spatio-temporal exposure models with policy-relevant insights (WP3). The outcomes will support evidence-based IAQ standards, inform public health protection, and enable cross-disciplinary collaboration on sustainable building design and environmental technologies, directly contributing to Qatar’s national health and sustainability goals.
