Research project description
People in North America spend about 90% of their time indoors, making indoor environments the primary source of exposure to airborne pollutants.
We aim to improve the health and well-being of building occupants by enhancing indoor air quality. We design and develop strategies and interventions to achieve this goal while improving building sustainability and resilience for future climate conditions.
Fields of research
- Indoor air quality
- Consumer-grade monitoring
- Pollutant removal
Topics of Interest
- Consumer-grade air pollutant sensors
- Smart filtration and ventilation systems
- Emissions from common household activities
- Occupant-centric interventions to improve indoor air quality
