Abstract

The objective of this study is monitoring indoor air quality and
investigating conditions and performance within selected rooms in a
sustainable school and to compare results to accepted standards
guidelines. Air temperature, relative humidity (RH%), carbon dioxide
(CO2), and Particulate Matter (PM) were monitored. Result has shown
that the school meets thermal and relative humidity targets for comfort,
although some overheating may be occurring even in non-summer
periods. Air quality is indicated to be good, suggesting that the
ventilation system is working satisfactorily. Fuel, electricity and water
consumption were also analysed. There have been metering problems in
the past, which assesses the school's performance against national
benchmarks problematic. However, it does seem that the school has
succeeded in its aim of significantly reducing water consumption.
