Description This thesis aims to develop, test, and optimize a low-cost, fast-response measurement system for analyzing indoor air quality (IAQ) and monitoring ventilation systems. The system is designed as multi-point, leveraging a combination of tracer gases, including SF6, CH4, and propane, to ensure accurate and flexible measurements.
The project’s application scope includes:
Continuous monitoring of building ventilation, both mechanical and natural, to improve energy efficiency and ensure a healthy environment.
Analysis of airborne contamination, focusing on the mechanisms of viral and bacterial pathogen transmission, aiding in the design of mitigation strategies for enclosed spaces.
Evaluation of the airtightness of museum display cases, aimed at preserving historical artifacts through controlled air quality and environmental parameters.
The developed system represents an innovative solution for air monitoring applications, combining affordability, rapid response, and versatility, with significant implications in health, heritage preservation, and environmental efficiency domains.
Required skills Principi di ventilazione: meccanica e naturale, con particolare attenzione al monitoraggio e all'efficienza degli impianti.
Analisi della qualità dell'aria interna (IAQ): comprensione dei parametri che influenzano la salubrità dell'aria in spazi chiusi.
Ingegneria ambientale: competenze per valutare gli aspetti legati alla trasmissione di contaminanti e patogeni.
