In this scope, a comprehensive IAQ audit methodology along with energy audit of buildings should be established in order to identify the indoor air problems. Although, some IAQ monitoring methods have been developed in different countries, most of them are applied to office and hospital buildings [e.g. Ref. [16]]. However, the IAQ monitoring approach that is suitable for the hotel building has not yet been developed [1].
Hence, the purpose of this study is to develop and demonstrate a comprehensive IAQ audit methodology for hotel buildings. The data collected from this approach can be used to assess the air quality in hotel buildings and to identify the indoor air problems. Consequently, the IAQ audit approach proposed here may be helpful for the hotel managers to reduce the health risk from hotel buildings and increase the comfort for guests. Furthermore, the result from IAQ audit shows the necessity of having IAQ audit along with energy audit of buildings. In fact, if just energy parameters are considered, as in the last decades, people’s comfort and health can be significantly sacrificed.
