Abstract

The building provides shelter to live and most people spend their 85-90% time indoors. Therefore, it is quite important to ensure that the condition of the indoor environment is healthy for its living being. There are a number of methods to evaluate indoor air pollution of built spaces by performing experiments or doing it computationally. In this study, a review of computational studies carried out to evaluate the impact of different parameters like airflow pattern, indoor and outdoor contaminant concentrations etc., on indoor air quality (IAQ) of different type of buildings was done. Some commonly used software’s for the study of IAQ were also discussed.

Keywords- Indoor air, Computation, Building, CFD.
