Abstract

This chapter discusses the indoor air quality of industrial buildings with high pollution sources. Firstly, the basic characteristics of indoor air quality in industrial buildings and the differences between industrial buildings and civil buildings in indoor source and control demand are briefly introduced. Then it discusses the emission and diffusion characteristics of three kinds of typical pollutants in industrial buildings with high pollution sources: high-temperature particles, droplets, and harmful gases, and introduces the analysis methods and research conclusions of these pollutants in the indoor environmental control of industrial buildings. On this basis, the refined ventilation control methods for indoor air pollution in industrial buildings in recent years are presented, including zoning environmental control strategy for overall indoor air quality and novel local ventilation technology for centralized pollution sources. Finally, the assessment indexes of high pollution industrial buildings in different industrial sectors in China and three prediction methods for indoor air quality schemes are introduced.
