Abstract

The primary goal of this research was to identify the most critical factors affecting indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort in mechanical rooms in the Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology. Sixteen different rooms in the lecturer's office at Factory 3, FTKMP Building, were analysed and studied to determine the concentrations of ozone (O3), the total volatile organic compound (TVOC), carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM), temperature, and relative humidity. The experiment setup is based on 16 lecture rooms at Factory 3 of the Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology, which was picked using random sampling. Descriptive analysis, time series plots, and Student T-Test were used to analyse the IAQ. In addition, the survey was provided to the lecturer of the lecture room at Factory 3 of the Faculty of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology to assess the thermal comfort environment. Then, using linear regression, the most significant factor influencing IAQ and thermal comfort was determined.
