Abstract

The paper proposed a framework to address indoor air pollution within the residential buildings in the architectural scope. This framework was handled in two phases. The first phase addressed the technical solutions divided into categories, subcategories, and strategies (solutions). The second phase is the framework's activation, which came through an assessment tool's extraction. This tool is formed in a comprehensive, configurable, and multidisciplinary checklist. This checklist covers the overall technical solutions' categories and subcategories. Then, it conducts the strategies to specific & measurable indicators by setting maximum points for each indicator. Assessment of indicators depends on the relative importance, which set depending on the specialists' teamwork. The proposed checklist can help both designers and evaluators in both design & assessment phases. Officially, it can be activated through multidisciplinary specialist's teamwork. Hence, certified licenses can be released. Activation needs to establish a specific & official authority to assess the concluded indicators. Hence, it can be used as a part of the licensing requirements for new projects before its awarding regarding IAQ. Also, evaluators can use it to assess the existing projects. Then, the study findings represent a step to study indoor air pollution and to promote sustainability.
