Abstract

Ensuring sustainability and reducing energy consumption in the built environment is essential for achieving energy efficiency and comfort. To obtain a healthy and sustainable urban environment, indoor air quality and ventilation play a crucial role inside buildings since billions of people live in urban environments worldwide and spend significant time indoors. Considering the relevance of this theme, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was adopted to conduct a review regarding air quality and ventilation and their impacts on urban environments. The search identified 7568 articles related to the topic, of which 103 were selected after applying the criteria defined to answer four research questions. The main findings of this research are: (I) Analysis of design strategies related to indoor air quality shows that ventilation plays a key role in promoting healthy and comfortable conditions; (II) Air distribution involves controlling temperature, velocity, humidity and pollutant concentration, thus creating an indoor environment with low energy consumption and high air quality; (III) The Covid-19 pandemic has emphasized the urgency of addressing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and ventilation as crucial strategies in reducing the spread of respiratory viruses; (IV) Climate change and the global energy crisis have imposed significant pressure on the construction industry to design buildings with low energy consumption, especially in developed countries with high levels of energy consumption.

空气质量与通风:探索气候变化时期健康和可持续城市环境的解决方案
确保建筑环境的可持续性并降低能耗,对于实现能源效率和舒适度至关重要。为了获得健康和可持续的城市环境,室内空气质量和通风在建筑物内起着至关重要的作用,因为全世界有数十亿人生活在城市环境中,并在室内度过大量时间。考虑到这一主题的相关性,我们采用了系统综述和元分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA),对空气质量和通风及其对城市环境的影响进行了综述。搜索结果发现了 7568 篇与该主题相关的文章,在应用所定义的标准回答四个研究问题后,选出了其中的 103 篇。本研究的主要结论如下(I) 与室内空气质量有关的设计策略分析表明,通风在促进健康和舒适的条件方面发挥着关键作用;(II) 空气分配涉及控制温度、速度、湿度和污染物浓度,从而创造一个低能耗、高空气质量的室内环境;(III) Covid-19 大流行强调了解决室内空气质量(IAQ)和通风问题的紧迫性,这是减少呼吸道病毒传播的关键策略;(IV) 气候变化和全球能源危机给建筑行业带来了巨大压力,要求他们设计低能耗的建筑,尤其是在高能耗的发达国家。
