This report is an attempt to build a deeper understanding towards the different dimensions and parameters governing indoor air quality in buildings. More precisely, the aim is to evaluate the indoor air quality of three different rooms within a case study building – rooms 413, 416 and 418 on the fourth floor of UCL’s Central House - via the use of indoor and outdoor monitoring data obtained from 2017. In doing so, this will inform what the drivers of the room performance are.

This will further identify the existing relationship between the internal environment and the external environment in the specified context - as well as what this means for, other environmental factors when there are varying parameters in each setting, and the indoor air quality when it is compared to relevant guidelines. Subsequently, key strategies and interventions which could be utilised to improve the building’s air quality are to be explored via simulation modelling – through this, better clarity will fall onto how adequate conditions can be provided indoors, and hence inform a deeper knowledge of indoor air quality, comfort, health, and wellbeing.
