Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Most people spend about 90% of their time indoors, and thus monitoring and sensing indoor environments is vital to understanding the quality of the air that we breathe. The main sources of indoor pollution include smoke, chemicals, dust, poor ventilation, high temperature, and humidity.
In recent years, indoor environment monitoring has gained the attention of researchers, building owners and government authorities—especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Exposure to indoor air pollution can lead to several health issues. Poor indoor air quality can cause the spread of infectious diseases, and has been linked to lung and heart disease. Moreover, poor air quality in buildings has been reported to impact the cognitive performance of its inhabitants. Unfavorable indoor environments can have a detrimental impact on the building itself, resulting in dampness and mold growth.
This Special Issue addresses cutting-edge technologies designed to support indoor environment monitoring. Topics of interest for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Design of high-resolution gas and particle sensors;
- Indoor air quality sensor networks;
- Indoor air quality data analysis;
- Coupling of sensor data with indoor air flow;
- Indoor sensor-based ventilation systems;
- Surveys of building environment sensor systems.
