This paper presents a calculation model for road traffic annoyance based on traffic flow counting, road traffic noise emission measures and public surveys held in the urban area of inner Budapest, Hungary. Based on the research results a new model for the rate of highly annoyed of road traffic noise annoyance was determined, the subjective response of a person to road traffic noise emissions. Exposure to high road traffic noise may deteriorate everyday life and human well-being especially in urban areas with high traffic flow. With the model developed the rate of high annoyance can be predicted for urban traffic circumstances, for a given noise level. This prediction may help authorities to decide whether a road traffic noise complaint is justified or not and whether further measurements are necessary.
Indoor air quality is a major part of indoor environmental quality and plays an important role in creating sustainable and healthy indoor environments. Well-being, health and comfort are affected by indoor air quality. The measurements that are introduced in this research paper were used to record the results of three different residential interiors. These data are a part of a larger scale research project that included the evaluation of residential buildings, offices, university interiors and for instance nurseries. The reason behind conducting the measurements in these interiors was that in all of the examples inadequate indoor air quality and therefore human discomfort, illness and also building failure occurred.
In this paper the theoretical background of the research and the measurement of indoor air quality (indoor air temperature, relative humidity level and carbon dioxide level) will be introduced. The poor indoor air quality in these buildings is a result of a complex system. The thermal bridges of the facade cause cold interior surfaces, the airtight solutions cause high relative humidity levels. These two combined result in mould appearance. Besides, the lack of appropriate ventilation rate can be the third part of the reason behind poor indoor air quality.
Based on the results of the measurement data, different solutions are suggested in each case to improve indoor environmental and air quality, in accordance with creating healthier indoor environments.
