Overview:
From the perspective of environmental sustainability of buildings, the
discussion of indoor environment quality must be among the most important
topics to be addressed. The impact of the built environment on occupants
is part of a complete “building ecology” perspective that
considers the dynamic interdependence of building, occupants, and environment.
The improvement of environmental sustainability of building requires careful
consideration of measures intended to improve indoor air quality that
involve increased energy and other resource consumption and the potential
associated pollutant emissions. Therefore, it is necessary to balance
various factors while considering the total environment. Furthermore,
by respecting the differences of individual occupants’ physiology,
psychology, and preferences, it is necessary to develop benchmarking of
indoor environment that is appropriate for the improvement of environment
while respecting diverse individual occupants. Finally, problems in developing
as well as developed regions must be addressed in a manner appropriate
to the physical, cultural, and environmental issues specific to each distinct
region.
Based on these issues, the indoor environment sessions will focus on following
points:
- Examples of indoor environment benchmarking and its target setting,
- Assessment systems for measuring the effect of improvements on indoor environmental quality (such as occupant perception of the environment, occupant health, comfort, and productivity
- Development of innovative technologies for the improvement of indoor environment, and
- Approaches to measure the trade-offs between indoor environmental improvement and the related impacts on the general environment.
- Lessons resulting from these activities for the practice of sustainable building design, construction, and operation.
- Problems of indoor environment in the developing regions.
- Measures to improve indoor environmental quality & sustainability
of buildings in developing regions.
