Improvement of Classroom Conditions and CO<inf>2</inf> Concentrations Through Natural Ventilation Measures Reinforced with NBS Implementation

Abstract:

This study assessed the relationship between temperature and carbon dioxide concentration and ventilation requirements in classrooms. This assessment has been used to design by modeling proper natural ventilation procedures for ventilation and cooling in educational buildings assisted by Nature-Based Solutions implementation. LIFE my BUILDING is GREEN aims to contribute to increasing the resilience of these buildings by implementing in them Nature-Based Solutions as prototypes of climate adaptation and improved well-being. Previous studies have suggested that high temperatures and poor indoor ventilation can result in higher levels of indoor pollutants, which may affect student and teacher health. The study is still ongoing and will be completed with the assessment of the NBS implementation and measures proposed in the school using carbon dioxide concentration and building users well-being and health through questionnaires.
