Introduction to Indoor Air Quality (Approx. 8 hours to complete)
https://www.coursera.org/learn/intro-indoor-air-quality
Through appropriate case studies, student is required to study the basics thermal transmission,
thermal performance, effects of moisture and ventilation on the indoor environment of indoor
air quality in line with construction and built environment introduced in the literature and
references. Student is required to evaluate the effects of moisture and ventilation on the indoor
environment and indoor air quality. Concepts of Indoor Air Quality and Internal Environment
must be reviewed, discussed, via exploring academic and technical journals, MOOC courses,
technical reports, articles, conference proceedings, text books, codes and standards, case
studies, government and professional guidelines in the field of construction and Internal
Environment. Also you must discuss the significance of Indoor Air Quality, Thermal Transmission,
Ventilation, insulation and Sound absorption in the present indoor environment of buildings in
the current scenario including challenges, concerns and needs related to this topic in
international and local level.
