Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Buildings are a complex internal environment, in which the quality of air plays a crucial role. The internal air in buildings has a complex composition; it can contain many physical, chemical, and biological elements. However, air impacts the internal environment of buildings through more than just the obvious factors. Less obvious factors include the smell of air, which is difficult to assess due to the lack of technical equipment and subjective descriptions. Furthermore, the internal environment of buildings often contains many pollutants. Pollution occurs when the compounds that make up the standard composition of air change their proportions due to external stimuli or pollutants are introduced into an internal environment. Air pollution in buildings is often associated with external air pollution. All types of ventilation intend to improve the quality of the air in buildings. Ventilation can also be used to adapt internal conditions to the needs of users. Analysis of the internal environment in buildings is essential, as most people spend about 90% of their time in closed rooms (not only in buildings), depending on the climate and season they are in. Air pollution in buildings is an important health risk that needs to be controlled through studying its impact and limiting its negative effects. Technological processes, animal breeding, and plant cultivation also require specific indoor environments.
