Abstract

Although the current studies have identified and comprehensively summarized several factors that may affect indoor air quality, the extent of these factors’ impact on indoor air quality hast been explored. In this paper, a multiple linear regression model is used to analyze 15 factors with 100 samples from Shanghai. It is finally concluded that the ventilation rate, cooking habits, furniture characteristics, recent renovations, occupancy durations, smoking, construction characteristics, humidity, heating fuels, and natural ventilation are positively correlated to IAQ, while cleaning frequency, air conditioning systems, location, temperature, and attached garage are negatively correlated to IAQ. The furniture characteristics and humidity have a relatively weaker effect on IAQ. This research also uses a Random Forest Regression model to verify the results obtained earlier, as this method is capable of addressing the varied nature of IAQ impacts. Some unexpected results imply that the impact of certain variables need further research to provide more precise conclusions.
