In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic (officially declared by the WHO on March 11th, 2020), indoor air quality (IAQ) has resurged as a renewed paradigm, demanding enhanced attention, especially in spaces with high occupancy density, as is the case of school buildings. To minimize the risk of contamination indoors, it is needed to assure low concentrations of the biological pollutant load eventually resulting from the exhalation of the microorganism SARSCOV- 2, through the dilution capacity of the ventilation systems. One way of checking the risk reduction is through the spatially comprehensive assessment of the air exchange rate (AER) in the indoor space. The present study was motivated by a request from the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC) in Portugal, whose spaces have been used under restrictive conditions derived from the recommendations on the operation of buildings during the pandemic. Two onsite experiments were carried out in an Amphitheater with only the exhaust component on, due to technical issues with the HVAC system in that period. The tests comprised measurements in ten different locations for representative monitoring of the occupied zone of the space. The estimation of the AER in the amphitheater in both tests was based on the analysis of the time evolution of the tracer gas (CO2) concentration measured by each sensor/equipment. The results showed that the analyzed space presented an adequate rate of air renewal to ensure an effective dilution of indoor pollutants, and likewise of the biological pollutant load possibly resulting from the exhalation of microorganisms by an infected occupant., CLIMA 2022 conference, 2022: CLIMA 2022 The 14th REHVA HVAC World Congress

It is important that academic research comes out into the open and communicates more and more with the outside world. Greater dissemination actions are increasingly urged by the European Union guidelines and university governance policies. This also in terms of the so-called “third mission”, which joins the traditional purposes of teaching and research. The instrument of the testing laboratory, not so common in the architectural sector, can become a highly effective tool in this sense, if understood as an “open-lab” and therefore a “laboratory to be lived in”. Even more if addressed to investigations for the enhancement of the historic assets, heritage of the community of citizens. The European HeLLo project (Horizon 2020, Marie Skłodowska-Curie IF programme) has moved into this direction, “opening the doors”, in different ways, to public and private institutions, to the professional, to companies, as well as to the community in general. An in situ laboratory, in contact with “historic matter” and not in a distant and “aseptic” environment, analyses the real behaviour of insulating technologies for the efficiency of the building envelope., L'Ufficio Tecnico è una rivista scientifica dell'Area 08 (ANVUR - GEV 08), con Comitato scientifico.
