Abstract. The measurement of air quality, particularly the concentration carbon dioxide (CO2), has gained significant interest due to increased public health awareness. Elevated concentrations CO2 in have been linked negative effects on cognitive functions and directly correlate with quality indoor air. This work presents prototype a miniaturized sensor module designed for sensing utilizes two-chamber photoacoustic concept features compact design combining an absorption cell wafer-bonded detector based silicon MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) microphone technology. CO2-filled chip uses effect is able detect pressure oscillations within enclosed volume generated by modulated infrared (IR) light molecules. complete measures only 9×13×7.8 mm3 used smallest sensors reported date. Experimental characterization showed that achieves detection limit 81 ppm exhibits response time τ63 53 s. size performance characteristics make proposed suitable applications monitoring.

Since most people spend more time at work in recent times, this has led to workplace issues and health problems. The well‐being of occupants their overall are strongly impacted by factors that determine the standard indoor environments. These include air quality, level thermal comfort, inclusion plants, admission daylighting, a variety other factors. absence any these may result sick building syndrome (SBS). Therefore, well‐planned workspaces vital for occupants’ productivity work. aim article is investigate proactive measures mitigating SBS office buildings located within universities United Kingdom. study administered questionnaire gather perceptions occupants, followed comparative case analysis two University Greenwich on different campuses highlight correlation among physical parameters spaces occurrence SBS. results showed notable percentage participants reported experiencing least symptoms This provided clear evidence primarily associated with characteristics building, elements significantly influence experiences. mitigation potential adverse effects inhabitants during operating phase resulting from variables can be achieved implementation conscious design considerations initial planning stages future buildings. One practical implications it raises urgency built environment professionals fully aware how decisions could either contribute or prevent symptoms.
