In partnership with Boston Public Schools, Professors Patricia Fabian and Lucy Hutyra will compile data from a network of ~5,000 sensors installed in classrooms and on roofs of school buildings. The database will be the basis to study risk and mitigation factors impacting indoor air quality, thermal comfort, health, and energy consumption, including SARS-CoV-2 engineering controls, and sustainability, climate mitigation and adaptation interventions.
