Abstract

The quality of air in sacral buildings is an important factor that affects users. Church buildings are characterized by a specific microclimate, because they accommodate many people in short periods of time, which results in rapid changes in air quality. Sacral buildings usually only have natural ventilation through doors, return air inlets and window leaks, which can cause uneven distribution of fresh air. The aim of this article is to analyze the results of research on the basic parameters of air quality: carbon dioxide, relative humidity and air temperature in the church. The analysis carried out on research results allowed to state that the measured parameters of air quality - the concentration of carbon dioxide and the level of relative humidity significantly exceeded the standards recommendations. High level of air humidity was recorded at 75%. In the analyzed sacral building there is the need to improve air quality in terms of carbon dioxide and relative humidity. Ways of improving air quality, such as installation of mechanical ventilation, will help prevent damage to structures and equipment, and improve comfort of people in the church.

Highlights

  • The quality of indoor air is an extremely important factor that greatly affects the health and well-being of men, which is why it is the subject of attention of scientists, doctors and engineers

  • Testo 435-4 is suitable for measuring basic parameters of the air-temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide and the value of barometric pressure

  • The aim of this article is to analyze the results of research on basic parameters of air quality: carbon dioxide, relative humidity and air temperature in the church facility located in the IV climate zone, in the Podlasie Voivodship, in the village of Tryczówka

Summary

Introduction

The quality of indoor air is an extremely important factor that greatly affects the health and well-being of men, which is why it is the subject of attention of scientists, doctors and engineers. The category of interior microclimate is inseparably connected with the concept of air quality It is characterized as a group of various physical and chemical parameters that change over time within the space of a given room. It is an ecosystem in which elements interact with each other and, at the same time, react with the external environment, which allows for creating appropriate conditions for people [3,4,5,6]
