Abstract
Maintaining optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) in air-conditioned environments is critical for ensuring occupant health, comfort, and productivity. This study explores advanced strategies and technologies to improve IAQ in residential, commercial, and industrial settings where air conditioning systems are integral. The research evaluates the role of ventilation, filtration, and humidity control in mitigating airborne pollutants such as particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and biological contaminants. Innovative approaches like smart sensors, real-time monitoring, and integration of air purification systems with HVAC frameworks are examined. Additionally, the study considers the impact of design factors, such as airflow patterns and material selection, on IAQ optimization. By addressing energy efficiency alongside air quality, this research aims to provide a comprehensive framework for enhancing indoor environments sustainably. Findings from this study offer actionable insights for building designers, facility managers, and policymakers to promote healthier indoor ecosystems.
